Oh Oh Summer-shaved Yeah Well, also I'm heading out to RTX and I figured that two things one the hobo look might not be great a refresh and an f5 was in order but also like You remember when people were laughing about the pictures that we ended up submitting to RTX for like Hey, come eat Pat and woolly and you you submitted the photo of you with the fucking

My new my new the poison. Yeah, my new portrait is me holding a portrait and and for me I submitted that fucking weird floating head Yes, the right Now I look like the floating you look like the head So now people will be able to recognize me easily when I'm attached to a person's body, right? You have to look like you're branding. Yeah It's all about branding. Mm-hmm. When's the last time you saw a reboot hat? While yeah, yeah

I'm interesting about that. Oh, did it? Oh No, no, no, no, I just kind of did they contact you because of your video and be like stop No, but the branding is where it is. It's it's it's still what it is but It is the reality of the truth that well besides the fact that I I've honestly just enjoyed the Killmonger Yeah For for a minute. Yeah, I just I retired the hat after last year. Yeah, you know, I pretty much was like Yeah, let me just let that go there

Batch of pins they were like we were like Pat doesn't have a logo and everyone else's logo is a different company's brand Mm-hmm Fucking whoops. Yeah, you know, you got that nice vs Yeah, which One would hope one might like it's almost like you know, there's a there's the the YouTube Versus that everyone uses. It's a joke at this point. Yeah. Yeah yours is it's it's different It's different. I kind of want mine to replace that one But then I don't want people to think that mine was just grabbed off of Google. You don't want it. Yeah

But anyway, I need to find another way to incorporate a reboot symbol To it on your balls Well, I'm gonna tattoo it not onto my balls, but I will tattoo it on somewhere. I Have an idea have a tattoo it on your balls And then well you can tap it and then fold your ball over so it looks like it moved No one's gonna see that

That's not you I Want it I want it you could look at it if you put a mirror on the floor or I can just you could know You would know you really hate tattoos, huh? No, I just hate no listen I think every I think I feel like everyone that hates tattoos loves them on fictional characters as a character design thing And thinks they're cool in that context. No, I've all I've always maintained a very Very consistent outlook, which is I should never get a tattoo Because I changed my mind and then you know, okay. Do you remember?

Homer explaining to Bart about getting a tattoo. No, okay So Homer looks to Bart is a seaboy a tattoo is a way that you can commemorate something you love forever And he rolls up his sleeve you go Starland vocal band. Yeah, they suck. Yeah, and that like burned in okay, okay, but The the back tattoo that you're getting as a canvas. Yes If that's a good piece of art, then it's a good piece of art. Yeah, and your back's a nice flat surface and Like there's certain subject matters that you're never gonna look up and go but they're awful like I'm never gonna be like my sister sucked. Like that's not gonna happen. No

So that should be fine. I think There's other things that are like well, okay, so reboot came and went it sure did and then it came again And it looked like it was going out the door as it was in now to me It will it will always be about what it was as opposed to what it is Yeah, and there's always the possibility that we can drag like eight More seasons of live action out of that logo, right? That logo might take on a whole new meaning Which would then make that tattoo? Sting a little bit more

But it is this that's bad. I don't like but it still would be What it is supposed to be to me, which is the original franchise No, man, don't you know this is from the 90s. I mean Like shit like we saw that DMC devil may cry tattoo and it's like oh no that that person wanted The new don't a dino. He liked they did not want the the older You know and I want to say there's definitely some Logos are things out there where it had it takes like if you just have you ever seen anyone that just got like literally the font Star Wars as A tattoo for example photos of similar things. Yeah, like if you if you just got the the font itself

I think I think the the worst one I ever saw was It looked like he was a 20 year old guy and he got like the dark one opens and closes the way to Silent Hill in this Awfully poorly written cursive font and it was misspelled. Yeah, it was a full back. Yes, I'm like Jesus Christ. Yeah Like if you grow if you rocked a Star Wars logo, I mean, it's not my style I wouldn't necessarily think that'd be the most interesting way to go about it But if you did it you could definitely argue you're like well, I'm doing the original trilogy or I'm doing my You Yes, a Disney a Disney company. Yeah, yes, that's correct

Yeah, man, you know, there's different. There's different There's definitely logos that take on new meanings I and then there's times when you're gonna you're gonna get ahead an age where Anyone you have to explain it to has a solid shot of not knowing the original thing you're referencing. Yeah I'm excited for the the the near future when a Disney man shows up to your house to take your arm because it has Mickey Mouse on it and that's copyright infringement, right? Which as the I mean if you can go beyond a hundred years Why not keep it going? Why not go deeper instead of longer? Yeah. Yeah, I think there's anyone out there with a

Kenshin tattoo. Oh, it's hot. Yeah, probably a bunch. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's yeah, it's still Kenshin Yeah, he's the he's the bat-to-sci. He's still the Hemera, he's still cool Nothing wrong with that. I Reveal if you have your memories of Kenshin. There's nothing wrong You know Yeah, and you want I would hear an argument from someone with a Kenshin tattoo Going like yeah, that was a fun series. Oh, man, especially when it got dead serious with the

So say hen and and Whatever, I don't know what the fuck it's actually that's the movies that were all super super. Oh, yeah, those samurai acts stuff Yeah, the super extreme. It's just yeah brutal crazy samurai movies And then you're like, oh man, that tattoo looks really cool. When'd you get it all a couple weeks ago? I found this new anime. Yeah, and you're like, yeah So, but no, no, no Can we get a name for the noise that you make which is like a like a like a whiny outpouring of breath when you find something awkward like Yeah, that that you did your version. I

Don't know like the exhaling your lung bag. I don't like it emptying your lung bag. Oh, don't like it Yeah, that's basically a funny feeling when when it's a joke, but when it's not a joke. Yeah You know hey someone might have even Committed to the X on their cheek That's unfortunate. Someone might have even gone that far. Hey listen. I know I'm a stodgy old stick in the mud at this point kids, but maybe just maybe Don't get a tattoo on your fucking face

If you had to if you had to like There's no gunpoint gunpoint full up. It's going down and You cannot make it you cannot the size will be Larger than Let's say

It has to at least be like 15% of your face, okay, at least like 15% of your face, okay, minimum you can't choose the scale We're talking cheeks forehead you can choose where okay, you can choose what all right You cannot choose and it has to be facing visage can't be around behind the ears Okay, because like depending on how much hair I have at any given time Yeah, my face reaches all the way back to behind my ears as it does now had to No choice

And it can't I don't know it can't be like fate your facial hair it can't just be under your beard It's got to be visible and you have to get one. What would you make it? I do I don't I'm totally blanking here. I don't I can't even I Would get the word fuck upside down on my left cheek Like written side-to-side, but yeah side down. Yeah, okay, just as a like cuz I Cuz I hear you on the like like everyone would see it and be like, oh, that's unfortunate I guess they'd get it right away. Yeah, like I hear you on the face tattoo shit, right? But I have to say when I saw post Malone's always tired. I kind of went man

That's really good the extra sensitive around it sure would it sure would but it literally is just always tired I'm like that. You're probably gonna have days where you'd regret that but most of the time that'll be applicable Yeah, I'm not even fully against that. Yeah, you wouldn't go damaged You wouldn't I thought about that for a good 10 seconds. Yeah, okay, and I Got the goof that is I want to say like that's the worst Tattoo that hit a mainstream view It's so edgy and all I can think of is that the the Joker got that when he was like 13 yeah, yeah, must be

Alongside all the rest of them I So like the first thing my brain did was like would you just commit to like baselines? You know like just the full-on and it's like no no because at the end of the day that character is still questionable Yeah, I it would be really hard to pick something that would like have to show up I'm also kind of tempted to think about like the eyes under. Oh, I know it's I Know what I would get I would get Fucking

Hello, what's how's it go? Hello fellow humans. I need your help. Just give me your credit card and those three digits on the back Sure written across my forehead sure and hopefully some some sucker would fall for it. I Would spread that 15% out maybe probably do like It'd be cool to like make my face cel-shaded That'd be interesting if I absolutely had to yeah It might be an interesting thing to make my my face look permanently Cel-shaded like a fucking like yeah, like I'm flat like flat with like

Man if I have to and I can explain to people that I have to like fucking get a fucking Marmaduke cartoon tattoo No, sure sure like world is a fuck. Yeah, right just get the full with with both Yeah, little little creatures the dog and the cat hold it it no I don't that me maybe it gives a joke about getting the reboot tattoo on your balls This is because I hate tattoo I just think it's really funny that you would use the scrote to like flip over the symbol because you tap it and it go You know it you it doesn't flip. I mean if you're gonna do anything on the scrote You would want to do is one of those like things where the more you manipulate the picture the more you can see yeah

Like a mad cartoon thing. Yeah, I like it's like it's the old lady now She's hot alternatively you could write it in really small text. It's like hey, what's up? How you doing? cool What about a mad magazine fold out cover? Mm-hmm, right except it's right so you just fold the skin and then fold it out. Yeah, you get the full picture Does anyone knows those are anymore? Are you kids too young for that? No, they don't know what magazines are okay? I got it. I got it. I got it. I got it cracked is gone. I got it. I got it. I got it Yep, I would get that stupid fucking

face of me Then we were just talking about oh he sent to recent date dead center of the forehead Yeah, like a creepy yeah, okay, right right right. Yeah, there. That's it. Okay That's basically What's it called? What's his name Steve oh Steve oh Steve oh Steve oh face. Yeah Right Steve oh face that totally that's the thing. Would you ever get an eyeball tattoo on the eyeball? Yeah, under no certain prison thing. It's a nightmare. Well, I mean they

There's the teardrop No, no, that's ejected with like big pens on the eyeball now in the eyeball under no circumstance They're the whole wide of the eyeball like big blue. Yeah, that's not you know There's a you mentioned cracks so that jumped into my mind because there was a Michael Swain bit on Tattooing eyeballs understanding the horrible decision from like 11 years ago. I Mean there's inside of the lip, right? That's that's uncharted territory. So people do that. Yeah You can you can definitely fucking flip that shit over and again, I mentioned it briefly before but

On top your eyelids so that you're always awake Everyone always terrible. That seems awful like like like the creepy What was it? Who did it? Who did that for a while? Was it was it? The fucking Swanton bomb Jeff already the hardies. Yeah, those won't turn. Well, it was more tattoos Were they no no his face paint, but he had for your creepy face paint where when he closed his eyes It looked like they were still open. Yeah, so you could always go he needed because of the drugs. Yeah. Yeah Do drugs and wrestle kids? It's bad

Get I'm having an embarrassing match with staying Drugs plus wrestling is bad Fighting games plus wrestling equals good Then if you caught any wind of fire fighter fest but CEO and fighter fest happened this weekend I was about to say Fighting games plus drugs slash alcohol Scrape also seems great. Didn't a bunch of fucking throwdowns and like yeah That just I mean, well, there's actual fights. Yeah, well because they they booked matches

But yeah, so I mean I heard there was like some massive brawl that like security didn't handle it See, you know, it was a fucking mess. Oh, I didn't hear about that Oh, yeah, but there definitely was the fighting game tournament community effort Orlando run by one Alex Jabele of Looking up and smiling emoji fame or emotes. I should say and dive dive kick fame Of course me if you would Wrestle does match came out after after getting injured and had a had a had a full-on on the on the AEW buy-in he had a he had a match that involved him pulling out a

bag of Like fucking sandwall buttons and sprinkling them on the ring and then getting slammed and then the slamming is opponent onto them and Then him, you know, like like they're using them like McFauley fucking tum tacks in a way But they hurt they hurt their buttons. They're fucking arcade boys. What is the whole button the whole button? Okay? Yeah, okay, that would hurt. Yeah. Yeah, that would hurt for real for real And then and prior to that in the front row Justin long and yipes and everybody churned him on and then when he when the match goes outside the ring Justin hands him an arcade stick and he uses the stick to like bust over the guy's back and hit him in the stomach

Okay, so it's nice and hefty depending on the big weight big weight on that. So that was really fun and then of course there was the the elites which is Kenny Omega Plus the young bucks coming out as Ken and Ryu with this three-fighter two music playing or lights go dark lights come back on and Kenny standing as a kuma as he raging demons the fucking arena Great, you know over the body and he's got the symbol on his back and like yeah, so they did the whole thing It was pretty fun. It's was he or the first like big tournament that had Sam show there I

Guess it would have had to because I saw I saw somebody messaged me that he tuned in and Jay Wong was playing Lamer than ever Which in a game like so I picked I played shit Sam Sam show finally Yeah, that seems like the kind of game you could play lame as fuck Yep, and I saw you see the clip of max no kill guy and two hits Fucking round three start he did deflect and the other guy did the hard slash. Yeah, just into super in a lightning Yeah, I did I believe it fucking ridiculous. Yo, that game is awesome. Get angry as as Gal Fort says Yeah, man, you just you fuck up you get fucked up

That goes pretty good too. It's not the best but it's pretty good Uh who you leaning towards I didn't play enough of it but But Gingera was an early just like all right. He's kind of like Eori. He's he's samurai Eori Yeah, in in character and isn't he also actually like no His name not Gingera. You got me. No Keep it gummy Kimi gummy Kimi gummy Whatever it's got gummy in a good enough. Yeah, no, he's red. He's not red

He's the red to the red. Yo, how maru. Yeah, and he's the red one and he's angrier That's that's why he's Eori samurai. That's it Tam tam is really popular. Yes, jump back hard. Yeah, jump back see it's a problem He's very good. He's got a far-reaching command grab. He's got projectiles. He's got a full moving Tatsu Nakaruru does not like to be disarmed as well Have you seen that? What is up with that? If you disarm Nakaruru under almost any circumstances her her character mode starts to go crazy

Like it disappears catch that it fucking it animates bad. It's like it's super fuck didn't see it But yeah, I Mean whoever you go with there's there's you know, I think Some people have a much more decent shot than others. Mm-hmm. I feel like tam-tam and earthquake are Problems to be solved earthquakes ranges are fucky. Yeah, they're really really really long. It's fat teleporting Dalsam Yeah slash axle Yeah It's just like

People's footsies against them feel so weird because they were like testing out ranges from like four character lengths away It's like pop just pop them learn to parry or or teleport on top of them. Yeah, if you got one. Yeah, like certain Antiair type things are not exact like like unless it's a full actual Reversal his air see slash with a big chain swing is like you're not gonna get through that You're gonna need to this his body so fucking far. Yeah, and you can't parry aerial moves. No, so cool Enjoyed it. Yeah, cool. I'm gonna hopefully spend more time with it and Did you download that free?

Season pass I came part of the the version I bought okay, right at it. Yeah, so even if you didn't buy the game I Is it still up? It might not be up. Oh, that's what I first five days by the way. Happy Canada Day everybody Happy Canada day a little bit of maple syrup and go look at beavers online Lots of cool things in Canada. Yeah celebrating them today Cities fuck right now. Um, like it was tough to get here. Yeah Fireworks is not one of them not one of the things that we it's not not legal here Well, I mean the city can do the fireworks all I want. Yeah, but we don't want to blow up the children individual individual ones

Yeah, we don't do the hey 4th of July is gonna be coming up Uh, but after this podcast to all our American listeners Careful with the explosives Don't blow your hands off Don't don't hey Be far away from when they explode. I feel like we don't I feel like we celebrate Canada Day without Too much ruckus. Well, I mean I feel like Canada Day is a very

That I mean besides the city fireworks It's kind of a little like it's more like a barbecue kind of vibe and it's less of a my view of holidays Yeah, massively warped for like seven eight years now Because I have friends have to tell me when holidays are because it's Canada Day This is a federal holiday, which means you got the day off work Why would I have the day off work when we work for ourselves? Mm-hmm. Let's go. Let's go a podcast. It's fucking weird So I'm over in this house, I have a flag somewhere I have a flag somewhere

Yeah in my heart Because I bought I bought a flag specifically for the pole So that I could put up my diger in yeah, and it came it came with a can of the flag So I just folded that up and put it in a drawer. Well, that says everything doesn't That says everything at the end of the day. It is what it is You know Yeah, we know where we are. You know where I am. It's a big country look around, you know, we'll see something we get it It's fine. Happy to be here. Mm-hmm. That's cool. It's okay

It's more than okay. It's alright. That's alright. Yeah, it's okay, buddy Do you see good you consider alright to be more than okay or do you consider okay to be more than alright? Okay is the absolute like 50 out of a hundred dead center neutral to me Alright is slightly more than okay because you can add a tone to alright to be like. Yeah, it's alright, and that's like a 65 Are you can say it was all right? That's still 55 to me at least a 55 or it's okay can range from like 40 to 60 Yeah, it was okay, and and and in this case 50 is a passing grade not 60 Right, so it's like I blew my fucking mind when I got to university where they're like 50s passing grade and like wow I have to do shit and I almost flunked out

I mean, okay all clear. That's what it means. Yeah, I technically graduated. There you go. Did you though? Yeah, I did I did I have a diploma somewhere in a bag Does anyone ever ask for the piece of paper? Oh, no like fuck every job that is a purely ceremonial Like when has anyone ever asked you to produce you do tell them the name of the fucking university and then they fucking contact the university And they just look yeah, I guess they could what why would they why would they trust you with a fucking a single piece of paper? Yeah, this is real. Yeah, this is super real. Yeah, it's in crayon and shit One has to assume there's a record. Yeah, that they can just type your name in to and just go like oh, yeah, there he is And this person exists

Although if you go to another country then you probably really do need that piece of paper or at least the transcript or some shit And they got to make phone call Well, we went to the states. They probably just made a phone call, right? But then again, what fucking job and I'm applying to my degree It's all about that influencer shit now, man. If you wanted to be a Worst law member of society fuck that. I was gonna say like psych youtuber leeching off the dregs now That's you. You people are the dregs. Hello Twitch streams about psychology. No, man. I did yeah, you gotta put that shit in a practice or else you forget it

Guess what that means? Most of that shit's gone long gone doing Sessions on twitch now. That's that's unethical That's that's super evil super illegal. Yeah, not illegal. Just unethical. Oh, yeah, okay Wait, yeah, you lose your license for that Probably yeah, yeah, what license? I don't have a license. Yeah, I know exactly. I don't have any license

Drivings for suckers take that I Was gonna ask if it's one of those things where you like, you know, how there's people that just go like yeah I'm a nutritionist and it's like that's a real job Nutritionist is a real job and then there's people that say they're dietitians. Yeah, and then there's people that use other terms that are like And then and then you're like nutrition consultants and then you're like I want to walk into your office and see a fucking framed piece of black on the wall

Yeah, because then you start you start you start like leaving because you're not you're not saying the word doctor because then you'd go to the Jail, so you start using somebody's wax a finger at you Oh, I guess so then you got a fine of some kind Yeah, you got to shut your fucking quack practice down but like you go from like things like nutritionist and like I said dietitian and then you start going into You know nutrition consultant and or lifestyle a Life coach man like I'm not even like a coach. No, I'm like, you know, just into these

Sign up to Pat's life coaching service No one Yeah, follow by example Like yeah, yeah, two thologists. Yeah, two thologists. Yeah, that there it is. That's that's that. Yeah, perfect That's perfect perfect. Hey, man. What do you what are you been up to? I had a busy week Did you did a lot of things? Let's hear it. Um, I thought you were gonna continue off the samurai showdown Train. No, that was me passing in the baton back. Okay, and I'll take the baton back later Okay, well, uh, we're gonna tears for 15 minutes. I did no, I see that's why you're doing it this way. Yeah, got it

That's why I'm doing it this way. Okay. Well, um, I spent a lot of time with cadence of Hyrule and Guess what? It's fantastic. I played it for about 45 minutes and you just probably melted and what no, no, no No, it's it's easier than it is. It's much more forgiving And I was like, this is really good I'm gonna save this for a plane or something like that Apparently, it's quite short as well. I'm at yet is I'm actually

Like what like the one thing I almost like feel like shit. It's a little too easy in terms of how punishing it is for some things but like it also has um It's new mode, which is like really actually Well done for people that are struggling, which a lot of people are yeah, right? I'm hearing it. So when crypto the necro dancer came out a lot of folks struggle to just get the rhythm mechanic down and To just get to be able to stay within the beat. Yeah is apparently a struggle, right? And like and I know the deal

I mean the difficulty picks up when you have to learn patterns and shit gets gets wild on you But some people are just having a trouble with like moving around and stuff. So what this game does is it has the fixed beat mode yeah has a Was that in the original is that barred mode? Well, no in this case It's like this is new for cadence But fixed beat mode is like when you like die enough times it gives you the option to it's easy mode is now selectable What it is is it turns it into a Like it's not turn-based RPG, but oh, it's it's you move they move you move they move and you don't move

They don't know yes, so it is it is whatever that is called a simultaneous turn I don't know what that is. It's kind of unique But you have as much time as you need to do what you need to do and think about where you want to go next But the beat doesn't break until you know like unless you get hit so I made you know, which I made you Which I would think makes that game laughably easy. I would imagine that odd I would imagine because yeah, you get to learn exactly how the enemies attack and everyone has a set pattern of moves to do exactly so That seems like a really good thing to do to get people

To learn about you know things and then you can probably switch it back to the rhythm after that Really fun, man. The remixes are incredible. Oh good music incredible like Gerudo Valley You know Zelda theme Um Fucking what should we call it? Happy music man, so you spoke to that gentleman who worked on this. Yes, like everyone's excited unless I fuck up Yeah, it's yeah the promise of Nintendo Working with indies is a really great one unless I fuck up. Well, congratulations to you, sir

You definitely did not fuck up. Yeah a song of storms. Thank you I was trying to remember that song of storms the remix of song of storms fantastic smooth There's a load off that dude's shoulders. Yeah, I want to say that The and then I mean, I don't know about you, but I went for zelda I went for zelda first as well And then I played for about half an hour till I got out of the tutorial Then I went to link and I just wanted to see what the fuck the difference was

There's a little bit of a difference, but I'll go back to zelda I've been sticking with zelda the whole way through and cadence mainly I prefer right now. I prefer cadence the most um You know because uh, I just I the shield to me is way better than uh, nyrieu's love. Yeah, so You know, but but then you get dintz fire and that's a really great ability to later on anyway Akin's viral amazing. Um bosses are like there's like bosses that are like similar but like obviously like infused with music You know, and then there's like that's one of the things that like, uh

Was always like a wall and in this case, it's really not they're much easier And the game lets you resume From like where you were on the map where you hit an idol an idol statue. Yeah So it actually like lets you it's forgiving enough to be like, okay You're gonna respawn spend your diamonds on these items and then like You can be you can resume wherever you were So is there a roguelike or endless mode in there? I don't know because i'm just playing the main campaign right now

If there is it might be unlocked after I beat it because that seems like it would be important. I know that there's uh There I know that high rule is randomly generated. Oh really but like I believe it stays The way it is when you load it up type of thing but yeah, um Tons of fun highly recommended and honestly like Just on a remix level if you just want like Some of the best fucking zelda remixes. I've heard in a really long time because you know, what do you do with zelda? You orchestrate it every time, right?

Occasionally you do other stuff. I mean, it's one of the most popular prolific OSTs out there and in this case you just got yeah you got like family jewels remixes and some of some other really talented folks on the tracks and Just a ton of fun to just let it sit on the idol screen or like let it sit on the title screen um And the of course multiplier affecting how much of the beat you hear in a devil may cry five kind of way So you can get just the base beat or or you know like a little bit more and then the full thing blasting when you're killing the multiplier

fucking awesome and Reminds me to go back to cadence of high rule and like do the hard shit because basically I feel like this is a Perfect introduction if anyone goes through this and likes it then you go back to krypton the necron dancer and like Take that on because it's a way harder version of probably going to get krypton the necron dancer on the switch because just for the This is a really stupid thing But like when I was playing on pc the the prompts don't update to match controller stuff They still say the keyboard stuff I found that really incredibly difficult to internalize

As a result and also That's a really good game that is like I want to support. Yeah interestingly though since there's no Uh This time around they can't we'reverted to normal controls where you you have your d-pad and then your four buttons That do things whereas the original was only four buttons because they wanted it to be a dance mat playable game Yeah, you know and that doesn't apply here. There's no switch dance mat. So Uh, yeah, that's cadence of high rule. Um, definitely push that support it. It's great. You're and uh

I want to see nintendo Take these kinds of risks with Indie developers that might have really good ideas Because we saw them really slowly do that like I think the first one is it wasn't an indie developer But it was the the guys they had to do punch out Which was a small External developer that they did have but you know like yep and then that they had a fantastic experience of punch out Yeah, and now they have a fantastic experience with caves of high rule and think about every other franchise and smash there that

You haven't seen in a really long time that thinks that deserves some sort of recent entry I don't know what the fuck's captain falcon up to maybe give that to someone Who can crush it in the racing department? And do something really fun with that What are you talking about captain falcon? Yeah, the fighting game character. Yes from smash. Yes Why would he be in a racing game? I I hear that he has a car Well, I mean you see it and you see it in his final final smash. Yes, because that's his backstory, but we You want to make an actual racing game with captain falcon?

Well, I mean it would it would there would be racing levels, but then you'd be punching shit in between Okay, that seems weird. It seems like it would be too fast Yeah, I had a discussion with a friend of mine just a few days ago about this exact thing in which there's Shit tons of people that just see captain falcon as a smash like a smash original character Yeah, f0 has been gone for so long I would I would 100 love to see a game where within

While racing falcon can jump out And fucking falcon punch things. Yeah and jump back in that would be ideal like a like a futuristic road rash You know, whatever you need to do whatever you need to do If and maybe maybe that might consist of like like Like like jumping on the fucking road and falcon punching an incoming car. That'd be cool. Yep. I love that Um, anyway, give that to somebody. Hey, what do you want to do with metroid? Well, you're making prime, I guess but Are there what else you want to do with metroid? Yeah, give it to get some manateur. You know, maybe uh, we have metroid dread Finally maybe maybe after silk song

You know a certain dev team might be pretty uh samus and that a samus and might be not busy in her Menagerie in that fucking art style or even a similar art style with the the flat 2d. Oh, that'd be good Or let's say you don't want to go that hard with it, right? Let's say you want to keep it simple and not take too many risks You don't even have to go like hey look give this team full entry of this game It can be like crypt of the necromancer where you go

um Hey, you know what's fun? Fire emblem plus darkest dungeon. Sure You know and you just go hey this indie game has a fun premise that has nothing to do with nintendo games Let's make a version of that that people might enjoy the three houses come out I see people are very excited about it. I don't know apparently cut way down on the waifu and kids shit. Oh, okay Yeah, it's it's like The fire emblem the people, you know for fire emblem people, you know that kind of thing. Yeah

Yeah, well, anyway, you know, I mean if if we can see it with warriors and a couple other things and it's like, yeah Let's I think I honestly Just throwing that out there fire emblem plus darkest dungeon Would probably do really well. I think people would really enjoy that And like you can recruit all kinds of husbandos and why I don't know my waifu went nuts. Yeah But then just allow a coupling mechanic so that you can yeah You create new knights that are born in their armor Ready to go to the dungeon

uh, yeah You could even fucking fast forward time that time travel fucking waifu kids shit is totally ingrained in my mind as to the identity of fire Um emblem despite it being relatively new Hmm imagine if like You could like Move time forward in like large steps of generations. Yeah, so that like a young adventuring knight like

Is how you get uh Like a war master or like an old man, um Brigadier or something like that, right? Yeah, I can think of something that had that as an idea which would be rogue legacy You're right. Yes That's true, but that's pretty much just like you're seeing your family lineage You're not really seeing any of your characters once they die Continuing to exist as uh another class. Yeah, I'm talking about like Oh, you mean yeah, I'm talking about like the rookie that then becomes the veteran that then becomes

You know, like that would be fantastic. Yeah, so you can just you can just uh Take the same party members that go in and succeed come back Like get to their max level cap Sit down and have a family and then you move forward a generation. Yeah, and then like now that person's offspring is a new Unit you can use that's going out for the first time and the former is now like a new upgraded job You should look into crusader kings. What's that crusader kings is a fucking weird ass like european like Civ like fantasy kingdom builder thing. Well, not fancy. It's actually hyper realistic and it it just it it's

It's not dwarf fortress But you see people like Being like i'm having trouble running my incest kingdom because the church keeps trying to steal my kids And just like way too much simulation of weird ass shit. Okay. Well, that's not what i'm looking for I just want a game where my joseph unit can become my old joseph unit All right, I get that. Yeah, but then he becomes the older joseph unit and then he starts cheating Then he forgets to use his powers. Yeah, and then you're like, well now you're a cheating scumbag But in the process of cheating you gave us a new awesome unit. Remember when joseph joestar was like, hey

Hey, susie. I gotta get down to japan because I got kids out there. Oops Okay, love you. I'll be back then he comes back with a fucking invisible baby. Yeah, and she's probably like She's probably like i'm out of here I mean joetaro said himself that the the the main house is in shambles Yeah, right like the speed wagon foundation and its money are basically the only thing keeping things together I think they really should have actually like put that down that they're like Because joseph was actually like a massive scumbag and there are like dozens of joe skays around

Tons of them And they all have the birth mark. I have to hold my tongue right now Part six. All right always always always Uh, so anyway, um, yeah, that's cadence of high rule uh The other thing, uh That was awesome

was, um Yeah, I put some time in uh to smash ultimate and I learned how to play joker Yes, he's great. Yeah joker is really good. Um tons of fun Uh, I really Like immediately took to him. You know, uh, I did an episode of get into fighting games where Uh, a smash friend of mine z came down and kind of showed Reggie and I the ropes and Thuggery was committed. Um, but

In the process I learned the basics of getting the hang of joker did some sets online to like shockingly good results for my day one attempt And uh, yeah, I'm like I can absolutely Like use this as an alternate main you know now that uh Like I've got you know, I've always had samus and I always liked Kirby and you know, little mac is fun, but a joke Yeah, right. So so in that theme you've decided if I'm gonna be a joke might as well be a joker Hey, yeah

Uh, yeah God damn our sen is a powerhouse Holy folks and when he comes out, I don't know if you did you did you mess with joker? I did yeah, so my my current uh way of dealing with smash ultimate characters is they get announced And I shit my pants and then they come out and I play with them for half an hour ago. Yep I think that's most people In fact, I think I think that's that's why I'm like smash just represents the Oscars Yeah, it's not about them actually being there about actually playing them. It's just a look at that

You got recognition. I well because I'm not I don't and the oscar goes to Banjo Kazooie the way like even sam show does or something. It just doesn't tickle tickle that itch It's the real video game awards. It's like this character this character has earned a spot. Congratulations. That's all it really is commander keen it's representative You know, um, and yeah, like with that uh Well for one thing I'm glad

It's joker because I feel like you narukami would have been boring No, man. He's old now. I'm just saying like that for the timing of this. Oh, yeah He's a kid in a fucking school outfit like and he's doing the sort thing So his up B would have been the upswing his down B would have, you know but but but but anyway, uh There's no like there's it would have been more like minato would have been interesting. Yeah, would have been really interesting, but um Joker is also a ton of fun. What about um

that Apparently there were games before Three. Oh man. Why would you set them off like this because it's fun. Why would you attack them? Did you see that you see the old persona fans like actually like really happy that At the fucking atlas twitter account was like happy birthday 20 years to persona two and they're like you remembered It's like, yeah, but that's all you're gonna get Those those old persona became the SMT and new personas its own thing Just like I just like I was talking to you just now and like I cannot think of anything

But waifus and future children's when I think of fire emblem Yeah, social links and hanging out at the bar with you with your classmates Is is the fucking persona experience now once I build up enough of a resistance to steal myself to uh Horrible fusion mechanics and like impenetrable Like worse than tartarists Like grinding repetition. Yeah, I will definitely go back to Oh one and two the older personas to know. Yeah, because I you play SMT4

Yeah, way closer to that. Yeah way way way way closer to that. Yeah Uh, I heard one is a is a Grinding it's a relic. Yeah I heard two is actually where it's at. Also, if you're gonna play one, you make sure to play that american one With that awesome awesome localization Right on Um, but yeah, I want to know the events that occur. So that uh, you know But yeah, you know what I'd like to take a second to talk to you

And offer you my sympathies After last week you mentioned to me That you have recently played something on the woolly versus channel That left your heart in shambles And so I spoke to a friend of mine and then went on a quick wiki dive As to what actually happens In the third birthday So you managed to stay completely out of the of I saw it

I saw it was gonna be bad from a million miles away and you never found out and I I Swore it off and then every person I ever talked to was like holy shit. This is the worst thing ever I I Didn't but I was right at that moment where my eyes missed it up and I could have shed a tear. Yeah about So we make it we say a word we say a phrase often we say it here I say it on page of stream like it's the worst it's ever been Mm-hmm We can't use that phrase anymore. No because nothing's ever gonna top the out like

I'm saying this for a literal character assassination. So congratulations. You are repeating verbatim what I said in that LP it's uh And you get to watch the process of it happen slowly because it is like It is a the the what did I say the you're emptying your lung bag. Yeah, like over the course of an hour it and I and like honestly like I don't even

like I care about reboot a lot. So what they did to it hurts But like this is so much worse for anyone that cares about parasite eve. I cannot which I do But I am not you didn't you didn't it wasn't there for my Yeah, if I played parasite eve back when it first came out and then to when it first came out I would be unbelievably livid at this revelation

and on top of that Like It makes that game so Creepy a hunt it does everything like it does everything bad you can possibly do like and No series has ever treated itself and its characters

worse Than the third birthday nothing. I can't think of anything Like I felt like I needed to take a shower after the implications That I began to understand and there's no All the costumes and the battle damage and there's there's no coming back from it There's no coming back from it like you could always just do the fuck you didn't happen, but The smell is still in the room no matter how much you clean it. It's that's not a smell man That's a shadow burnt in by

The mushroom cloud so that shadows burnt into the ground back in time and I see people getting worried about 13 because Toriyama was writing it Because of all the creepy shit in third birthday. Yeah, and then hey, guess what? All that creepy shit happened with lightning again remember in ff 13 3 When lightning is like wearing the cat girl outfit and like is stone faced and and the character looks Like someone put her in the outfit and she doesn't want to be in it. Yeah I saw someone put together a theory about like Based on things he said that they feel that he does it almost in protest of

Like western culture and or something weird like that, but I don't know how much credibility that had I don't know if that was just nonsense being spouted But how much did you actually read all that? Okay, so you just you just wiki dived the whole situation. Okay. You didn't watch it though. Fuck. No. I'm not watching that like the the way it gets set up and executed because reading about it happening like here's the thing the way it's done is like Like spoiler alert for parasite eve

Uh, uh, not the one or two shit the third birthday that is the worst thing ever But like They set things up in a horrible way where you're like, oh my god. Are they actually about to kill aya? and then You're like they they fucking literally murdered. They literally shot her to death on our way to the character that I care about Yeah, the only thing first of all marrying asshole Marrying, uh, what's never mind about that, right? Never mind about him getting her or them getting married, but literally um

Has this whole process of like who and why who does this and why for what reasons it's unimportant It doesn't matter the point is she gets fucking Merked. Yeah, okay, cool killed by a swat team on a and you're just like you're in the process of going like Is this gonna have the fucking audacity and then she gets back up And then does the does the cool no i'm not dead yet and she takes them all out and you're like, oh Okay, sure. So yeah, whatever mitochondria. There it is. It's aya. Yeah And then they fucking they bring her back to be a badass for like a second to do whatever for no like badass But it's not really because the context of the situation means nothing and you have no explanation

So there's no real grave gravity or weight to it But then They bring her back just for her to go. No now you have to kill me for real though And now i'm gonna switch into your body. So i'm gonna be the little girl Yeah, and you'll be my stand Yeah, and now you have to press the button to shoot the main character in the heart as I stand and it's like look It's all of your memories. It's everything you loved. It's parasite eve one and it's parasite eve two kill it like the boss Literally kill it literally press the button and if you don't do it then we'll do it for you

You wait as long as you need to but eventually it fucking just makes the gun go off And then now you Have fucking murdered aya Inside of her little sister's body. You shot the little girl. She's dead forever And now her little sister's brain goes inside her body. So she's gonna be that little quick like mulling quim I believe is the term like just forever

As her creepy ass boyfriend decides. Yeah, you know what? I'm like I can marry that too. Hey woolly and puts both rings on. Let me ask you And know about that he takes the ring and he puts it on his pinky and now he's double married Hey woolly I really want to get to the root of this because it's gonna play into us laughing about kenshin earlier And I don't know if the yakuza story from this week is in the news. Is it it is not all right So Let's ask some questions for people totally unfamiliar

How old is aya's adopted sister in this story? Uh at this point I mean at the point at the end of two, I think she's 15 So the story is so I think she was like Probably I think the story starts with her being 15. Okay Who are you playing as is a mulling simpering wimp throughout the whole game? You're playing as a 15 year old possessing the body of aya of like 25 year old 14 excuse me 14. It happens to get all her clothes torn off. I was like, uh It's so

Much creepier than I I thought it was just creepy because it was like ha ha look at aya Which is why we then move in after that to our new game plus where we can examine all the costumes We've unlocked including the bunny outfit and the maid outfit, which you can then put battle damage on This is the new height of na na man Wink Also totally totally at but her brains. What the fuck? Well, she and and and also it's your new character Right because this is our new hero going. It's our new hero going forward and She gets wished

A happy third birthday because it's been three years since this new character was born So actually the 14 year old inside of the 25 year old's body three or four is actually three. Yeah, that's So, hey, remember when kenshin man got no problems. Remember that I remember to Toriyama writes this is like, no, it's not breaking any laws. It's really because nothing actually you see It's all just it's implication. Do you remember when brain swapping isn't real You remember pierre tacky getting erased from judgment because of a drug. Hey, man You can't brain swapping ain't real, you know, you hear about the tanimura the guy who played a cop in four He also got removed from the release

Even though It was a false accusation by an actor friend of his that wanted to fuck him over and that got proved and he got Totally acquitted they erased him. There's the new one and the new one is the height of absurdity In yakuza 6 there is a yakuza man that hangs out with Kiryu. He's like the site a secondary character His name is Nagumo He is going to be erased from future releases of six And fired from his talent agency and all this shit Because he may

Have a friend of a relative that might be in the yakuza The guy in the franchise the guy playing the yakuza And by the way, I don't know if you've seen negoshi and had seen what he what stories He hangs out with the yakuza um might be it's like it's it's it's This is the parody headline for real is yakuza actor Dropped from agency due to yakuza ties. Yeah

So I had to get I got I got in touch with a friend of mine that lives in japan and kind of asked just to Get a feel for him like is this something that is actually felt By everyone or is it sort of like the average person doesn't really give a shit But it's really just being pushed down the line from old people right and like the sentiment I kind of got back is like It's not like the average person is draconian about it, but they're still uncomfortable enough for it to be a problem

Okay, right and and certainly enough for um us to get A picture of how long it's going to take for anything to change. Yeah, because As we followed up not too long ago The the the pure tacky stories last update was the cops are mad that no one gives a fuck Yeah Because he took a picture on instagram and a lot of people liked it So the cops literally had a statement saying hey stop liking this photo on instagram. Don't erase his crimes

That's a lot of inertia and for those of you who don't remember your fucking grade 10 physics class and urges the propensity for things to not move Meanwhile, motherfuckers are literally like like like There's a quote this from this weekend because for the first time in 30 years They're going they're allowing wailing boats to go wailing again Yeah, and the dude who was like in charge of setting the boats off or whatever is like i'm trembling with excitement

I'm so happy that we're allowed to go wailing again I was like that's hilarious But anyway, I just I like the fact that the cops are paying attention to social media and getting mad that people are not angry enough to me Is that not weird? It's the height. It's the height of it. But yeah, so What you're saying is if I don't hurry it up eventually there will be a patch that removes this character from yaksix probably

But only on the re-release that kind of thing damn Is this in fact the nationwide application of hose mad yeah a little bit Hmm Well, anyway, um There was that played a little bit of judgment as well. Oh, did you how far to get probably just the first chapter? Yeah, yeah, yeah, just at the beginning just got the little little feel for it and I didn't know that that dude was uh Like basically lifted from a tv show where he was more or less doing the same thing. Yeah, he's also a hero

Right, I believe uh Was the name of it. He's a plays a cop and uh does that shit. Yeah has that fucking He's got those eyes, man. How do you like japanese abri plaza at the office? Oh, yeah, she's great Is that not just japanese abri plaza? That's fantastic. Everybody love her. She shoves food in her mouth I ate the whole thing quickly uh really really fun And I forgot about that shot from the trailer that I loved so much until it happened again when you're tailing of the guy Oh, yeah, and he passes by and he passes by in the eyes just they just lock on

So good. I love that series so much. There's so there's something And I mean, what's the last time you put hands on it like three million years ago Yeah, like there's something so specific that nobody else does it's like christ those cutscenes are in no hurry at all Yeah, yeah, yeah, like they will take fucking forever and characters will sit and kind of stare at each other for a bit And it allows you to skip through the cutscene as that's new dialogue. That's super new That's crazy. Yeah, I've never seen that before it'll just jump to the line You're looking for it'll jump to the camera cut it'll jump to the whatever It's it's not just a skip line. It's a fast forward. Yeah, right?

Um, the also the the dialogue choice tree thing is not really a dialogue tree. Yeah, fuck you It's just a little it's it's a fucking nothing who cares whatever But I definitely be lined to the arcade as soon as possible Played me some fighting vipers and then played me some fucking five evo. It's uh this one's The most impressive ever There's a lot of games in there. They even have a fucking pretty decent like gun game based on uh, yakuza dead soul Okay, I only found the one arcade that there's there's different arcades that have different awesome God damn it. I I just sat on five evo for a while. Uh, final showdown. Excuse me. Yeah, and it's like

You don't need it's this it's this awful thing or it's like, yeah five evo does sorry fuck Five final showdown does technically keep coming out Because the whole game is just in there. Yeah, you can't play with two people, but you totally can Uh, I plugged in a second controller and press start menu What on the main menu, there's two player mini game option. Oh my god You just on the main menu of judgment. Yeah, just literally go to Jesus Christ. They just sold they just sold you the game Yeah, absolutely. Okay, so I just was like it was like that and uh fucking yakuza six And yakuza five as well. I just literally bought I bought the fanciest packaging ever wrapped around virtual fighter five

Okay, there's out. Uh, there's out running there. There's fucking, uh, there's all sorts of shit. Yeah. Yeah And fighting vipers wait kawami two has via five final showdown. That's making any sense That came takes place in like 99 Men was saying apparently it did. Okay, so 2006 crazy. Um, yeah A ton of fun running around beating dudes up mashing triangle for big big kills big kills Uh, I can't believe a dude got kicked in the face on the ground so hard that he spun in a circle that's a wild It's basically murder without it's it's it's um

Uh fatal blows and there's there's okay, so in yakuza six There's a knife animation or if you do a heat move with a knife You stab the guy so hard in the kidneys that the knife comes out his back Oh my god, and then and then you then hold him by the shoulders and do a jumping like tiger knee Into the knife and it goes all the way up into his chest, right? And at the end of the game of yakuza six There's a conversation with kiryu where kiryu's like i'm gonna have to kill this guy and akiyama says to him Kiryu, what are you talking about the reason you've been the boss of kamaracho for so long is because you've been able to do all

The stuff without ever killing anyone. Yeah, and then a few minutes later you shoot down a helicopter You shoot down five helicopters with rockets And it's like this series exists in a phantom universe In which gameplay is not cutscene. You can really you can only die in a cutscene People can only die in cutscenes. Yeah, and if you had played that whole series There is a there is a textbook thing that happens in every single game Someone will be talking to you and it will be really important and then they're going to go to a completely Flat angle of them from the they're they're fucking they're they're femur up

Dead center in the screen and they're going to be like, okay So here's what's going to happen. I was and then there'll be a dash at the end of their dialogue And then you will be like they will be there. They are they've been shot They've been every single time it has happened like 15 times now when I was streaming yakuza 6 I got to two different cutscenes in one night and was like, oh he's gonna there he is he got shot. Okay Now the problem you will see it and you will know it even on your first try The problem is that if you're saying these these helicopters crashed and exploded

In game and thus no one actually died. That's right. What about the waiter? That cure you grabs and uses as a meat shield. So the what about that waiter the series tells you That it was the other waiter that killed him cure. You had nothing to do with it Don't woolly the in kawami 2 There is a guy you can heat move off of of a flat bed You heat move him off a flat bed into the highway and an 18-wheeler rolls over his head But that guy's gonna be a okay But like the wall move where you jump up and hit them with the knee is

Like death. It's Mortal Kombat rules. Yeah, it's x-ray attacks. It's fatal blows It's like we are watching as erin black shoots you in the head multiple times But you're fine and then you get up for but you're dizzy Well, I mean the fucking story mode cassie and her mom just literally murder each other And then she gets up and goes Congrats. That's good fight. Good fight. Good stuff. Anyway, um, wow at that But otherwise really fun and then I'm enjoying the linearness to that I'm waiting for the world to become a lot less linear relatively soon. You get out at first

Yeah, I'm waiting for the world to open up. But if for now, that's fine. I'm enjoying it, you know, um and Yeah, and then I played like bloodstained for a little bit as well and uh, I like bloodstained a little for that little bit Bloodstained's a thumbs up. Yep. I like how many weapon choices they give you super quickly That's probably the best thing about the game compared to like the older formulas right away You get to choose between two and then very shortly after you get to choose between like 10 Yeah, with the when you get the eight bitcoin and you just Fucking whatever the fuck you oh, no, I was just gonna say no you beat the first boss

Oh, no, you can you can find a hidden eight bitcoin really early before you even leave the town And it'll give you access to like like 15 different cool Kickstarter weapons Okay, if you beat the first boss you get to a fucking town and then they're like, yo, what do you want? Oh, that's what I mean. Yeah the town after in the town. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They just straight up. What do you want to rock? And it's like you've got the full like almost like Um, whatever like pick your class and dark souls. Yeah, you want a sword you want a great sword You want to you get as much you get as many weapon choices in terms of moveset as you would through the like entirety of syphia night

At the very beginning. It's really impressive hold up to jojo and there's a lot of really cool Uh, weird weapons you get like there's a great sword that spins There's a sword that you throw I also like how they implemented the symphony of the night um special inputs except now their Move specific weapon specific and some get more than others and things like that. That's really rad spear parry's Triple kicks do it. Oh, yeah triple kicks are the best one because are they yeah Because you can use them to get to areas you probably shouldn't be able to get to oh aerial versions. Yeah, you do in the air

Oh, and it gives you essentially a horizontal extra jump. Oh, wow. Okay. So it's like an areca Yeah, interesting. You know on the ship There's like a couple places you can't get because the jump's too far Yeah, you can totally get them right at the beginning if you use the kick triple kicks got it. Okay. Okay fun um Just my only complaint is I goddamn wish they were sprites. Yep. That's it. I'll say it every time Also, I'll say it every single time. You know, that's that's I don't want them to be like old looking sprites too Like fucking kind of kind of pixely

Yeah, no symphony of the night. Yeah, absolutely. I want to I want to pretend I don't want to see I want her face to be a bunch of a mess a mess Yeah, even though they zoom in and they're really nice cutscene models that have the But you could change the hair if you oh you probably didn't get that far. No, there's a waifu customization Oh boy, you changed your hair styles. I feel it. I feel it all the colors Not only is this a Kickstarter game, but that none that shows up is like just dripping with waifu ooze Like waifu's waifu's because you can see she was a normal none at some point And then someone put the little like sleeping bonnet on and then someone else put the leg garter

And then someone put the legs open and made the tights go and then someone said, okay, this is a mashup I gotta redraw this while having a huge erection. It's wild. Yeah, it's it's uh, there's an it There's a quality that I kind of always attribute to character designs that it's like it's the super robot wars og Flavor, right? And that's a particular thing that you either know it or you don't but when you see it You know exactly what it is because if you see a bunch of normal people standing And then one of them looks like the fucking protagonists from Beyblade One of them's got the glove the hat backwards the big spiky hair thing and a red jacket

He's like, yeah, and you're like that's there. He is. Yeah, you're doing it chujinko You know and zen getsu are just like Exploding with main character power. It's like it's nuts. And then you're talking to Johannes who couldn't be more of an attack on titan background character four You couldn't be more of an NPC In every aspect of you and meanwhile, she's just Wait, what are you talking about? You mean johana's johan Pisses me off every time. Yeah

so Uh Anyway, you can check out uh me playing all of those games. That's cadence. That's smash brothers ultimate That's bloodstained and that's judgment over on woolly versus Uh as those are all one ops that are going to be going up this week That's a both a youtube channel and there's also a twitch version of that channel correct Uh and uh also on that channel lots of things going on right now Lots of things were in the midst of

Of things going down, but yeah, I talked about it a little bit last time just to wrap it up a little bit this time Going to continue with with you know, the main lps and uh me and ipatch wolf doing Doing the legendary mystical ninja um, I believe we've now hit the The shattering of the fourth wall. Okay. I believe that is now live. So the journey through that lp is coming to its conclusion Uh, I promise the volume will not go down. Okay. It will only go up So anyone who's enjoying that enjoy I'd put it in my top five

Top five lps. Oh really? Yeah, I'd put it in my top five Oh, you're number one I'm curious. That's that's an inside joke for the for the for the reference to the to the lp reference to the lp Oh, okay. Um So that's continuing the one ops will also be continuing and uh as of uh, there was also a woolly will figure it out That came out this week. Uh, if you enjoy that podcast give it a listen I think it was a particularly good one that I recorded with ipatch wolf And since we're all on that fucking content wolf train, I'm just dumping it all at the same time. Uh,

I mean Pretty much almost due to peer pressure. But here we go gone in 60 seconds episode one How many of those are there? I'm curious as to what that format's actually going to continue as well I mean, there's been lots of speculation, but I put three digits at the end of the episode So obviously the are you going to be continuing that? Well with without a ipatch wolf present No, the attempt will be to continue it. Okay. Oh, jeez. All right. That's when discussing how to handle Doing a lot of episodes of something

I kind of came to the conclusion that hey, you know, what's not bad If you're doing 148 of something. Yeah one minute. Yeah Saw a quote unquote. Are you gonna make a super cut? The unwatchable super cut Well, if we get to minute 148, then perhaps we can put a little fucking movie together, couldn't we? That'd be a mess. Yeah, it would be and then you get to see you physically change over the course of it Yeah, here's here's it like like I like surprising people with things and and not going to I just want I like letting things happen Because it's more exciting when you don't know what's coming, right? Yeah, but a lot

But like there's things where people were like I that are worth addressing where someone was like Yeah, this seems funny and great and all but I'm not interested because I I I don't want to hear Rushed conversation. I want to hear him actually talk about it every time we get to the end of an arc We're gonna do a full discussion of ah, see so it's not just going to be these one-minute segments I've thought about this a little bit. I'm going to do every episode is the plan Right and we're going to find a way to to do it. Don't that's you know, don't worry about that and I'm going to we're going to it's going to go it's obviously going to take some time to get there Yeah, but it's going to get there and then

Yeah, hopefully we take that we take the real discussions that we get as well at the end of every arc We put that and then yeah, it would be fun to slap that shit all together and create some fun I have one big question for you that you can answer at any time you like and I mean like today or three weeks from now Or five months from now With who is the real green Naruto? Yes, uh green Naruto is it is it gone or is it deku is deku? And green Goku is gone. There you go. See he already got the right answer. He didn't even have to wait on it Yeah, because I didn't fucking get there yet obviously, but yes, this is what I've been I've been corrected preemptively Even though I don't have the evidence of him being Goku yet

Well, he looks he looks like a green Goku and he's got a fishing rod. So yeah, but anyway, so yes everyone who's Worried or concerned or has the questions Just I have an idea. I think it sounds really fun. I think it's gonna be fun as it goes Just sit back and enjoy the ride for people else to get nervous Just let just enjoy the ride fickle. No, they don't want to enjoy the ride and they want to plan out their ride And then like, uh, yeah, I think I can't wait to sit back and actually see what Like got in 60 seconds. The movie will look like oh upon completion

I'm I'm looking forward to where woolly lost his eye in that fight, you know And I mean as far as the ability to actually like Get this going is it's not daily certainly But it'll go as I can do it as we can as we can get it happening You know the logistics of how it's going to come out are dependent on our schedules But that's the plan that's all over at woolly versus on twitch and woolly versus on youtube And yeah, lots of fun stuff. I'm very happy with how it's turned out How's it going with you? Oh

Well sam show was great And you know, I didn't even watch the fucking season finale of of titan. Wow No, you didn't miss that much you missed there's a great wrap up. Yeah, I think you missed the money Yeah, you missed like now that the action is done We just get to put money into conversations. Yeah, and Skyboxes and then I saw I saw the ad for the final season which is going to be in 2020 and it's it's straight

They're just saying straight ups last season. Yeah, so I saw I got a link from a friend of mine who said Like this is they're like it's an it says like oh, yes final season confirmed season four for 2020 And then she's just freaking out going. Oh my god. Is that who I think it is and I just want I'm not clicking on this link So I am not looking at this the reason why I don't even want to hear that question The reason why they said that is not because it's like a character that should whatever it's just Did you watch did you watch you watched avatar right the first season the first couple seasons? No, no, no, no No, I haven't the avatar the shirt. No, no, sorry airbender. Yeah airbender two episodes. Okay Well, let me just say that like the the final season promo art with 2020

It took me a minute to recognize what characters I was looking at. Okay, so because they were just They looked very different. Yeah. Yeah, you go watch the finale um and enjoy your uh Enjoy the concept of time That that's why Got it. That's why got it. Got it. Got it. Could Eren really be the green Naruto also? That's no Oh my god

Yeah Yeah, oh, that's so cool. Yeah. Oh, that's so fucking cool Yes, are you serious? Yeah? Oh That's Oh See makes sense, right? She doesn't know what shippuden means. Yeah, but like you can see why that's why people are looking at the final art and they're going What?

Okay Oh my god, because Mm-hmm Yeah, see there it is And everyone just puts the every the plan and the and the training because and the planning Because that's the thing it's like I'm in this place if like I don't know where the story can go And like well, how do you fix that problem? You need to take some time to figure that out? You do it takes a bit and perhaps alongside that will come like

Yeah, some stuff some cool shit. So yeah, what you figured out in that period of time I should go and check out the final episode just okay And yeah, the final season that will be in 2020 And uh, it looks it looks like it's gonna Um, there's only there's only one like the jump can only go to a circle so far Um But um, yes, what was I gonna say is that uh, it looks like the manga is going to end alongside the anime That's really interesting, but it doesn't look like it's going to be like a full metal outcome a situation because

We've been we've been watching the story and also you remember telling me that the author has written the final panel and put out there He has a very Very exact idea of where this is going to go. So I have no worries about that. Wow. Wow. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, I'm sure the full anime team has the exact That's some shots are gonna be or whatever, but like I'm in the this is not a like filler anime versus manga situation It'll be it'll be shot differently. Yeah, but the the adaptation team has done a great job. So hell's yeah fly to heaven And the other thing that I don't know if you guys have noticed I've been yawning a little bit and as a result

I'll be taking a break. I was planning to stream today as well. But I fuck that. I'm tired I've been doing like eight nine ten hour streams of ff 14 since Shadowblutters shadow shadow bringers came out. That is the new expansion for final fantasy 14 online It's pretty good No, but uh There are a couple things that I'd like to talk about in a general way that People who know even mmo's at all would appreciate number one is that

The now at this point because you had the 2.0 story you had the 3.0 story and the right they're all Really Really obviously all written by different people They're all wildly different in tone and like different seasons. I think klems brought up the idea to me everyone that handles each piece of expansion Is the main story has been written by different people every time And what they did this time is they got the I believe It's a lady writer who did the dark knight storyline that everybody loves from the prior games

Hey, you're the lead writer on it go nuts. And what has happened is that it is The the general thrust of the a kind of mmo plot is leveling structure And then about a third of the way through oh a little plot twist and then halfway through Ooh a big event. It's not twist. It's just a big event And then you get to the end and there's a little plot twist before the end and you fight the final thing and then there's uh You know patch content, right? Are these are these things where the Like It's for you who has progressed in the story missions or it is the moment you log in you can see this plot happening

Oh, no, it's the the way it works is that your main story quest drags you to all the different zones and content Okay, but it also has story elements. Um, how's gunbreaker? I don't know Okay, I got a buddy of mine who got it to ad already and he loves it It's very very active like tons of pushing buttons. That's one of the things this expansion has done where there's Most of the roles now have a class. It's like do you want to be like just fucking mashing out shit? constantly like 50 60 apm Here's the class for you. Just mash buttons the whole time like korean starcraft champions kind of okay, um

But whereas you get to this story and well, it does have a little bit of a setup because you're essentially on a different planet um every three hours Something inverts your perspective or Some revelation occurs or some really fucked up shit happens There's a weird body horror element to the story that I didn't expect Uh, it's fucking great It's

Like story. It's fucking great. It's what happened to the scholars Uh scholars are mad Oh, you know, I'll take a second for this class is all about rebalanced, right? and there's a Overall healer rebalance scholars are one of them. They had a lot of their damage tools taken away from them In were and were placed with healing tools And scholars are kind of upset that they used to heal and then in the interim they would do a lot of damage

But they try to shave down healer damage to you know balance it Basically the idea is that they're bored now when they're not healing, right? um And the problem with that is that there's a whole weird I don't put this it's a whole weird like mmo culture thing Where tanks are blue and the roll action dps are red and healers are green when you look at the party list And and healings ruined a lot of healers were not healers a lot of healers are what I would call green dps In that they picked a healer so they get really fast cues and always a spot in a party

But they didn't actually want to play a healer. They just want to get they just want to play a mage with fast cues Okay, and everybody wants one people who played that life are Fucking miserable. Gotcha. Um and a buddy of mine I have two friends of mine that play scholar as like a dedicated healer and they're pretty happy There's some obvious problems with the class the rebalance isn't perfect But that seems where a lot of the anger is coming And I even ran into that on stream where I I played a eight man You know a boss and ran into a healer that I swear to god you can go back and watch

Would not heal anyone the whole time They literally just stood there casting damage spells as people were dropping the fuck dead and we were wiping five six seven times And we're like, please heal us Please heal us said hey listen What was it? Some people are just trying to enjoy new content so you can go be toxic somewhere else Wow, okay, that is the new I don't know if you've heard me say this phrase. You don't pay my sub

Uh, no, you don't pay my sub is you can't tell me what to do dude. Can you please do you fucking you don't pay my sub I can play the game. However. I want right right right Yo sin eaters though. They're they're so cool. They're so cool and there's something that like Everything about you get to see a person transform into one and it's evangelion esque It's very that's where the body horror element comes in you essentially barf out Your whole body and the shell becomes a sin eater. That's wild. There's it's very they look like SMT monsters They really really do

um Stories a plus all the zones are huge and really beautiful looks really great Um, but the thing that matters to me is that the whole of storm blood I was kind of upset because the they changed the class that I play into a class that I didn't like And all the all the classes that got reworked except for the healers So basically there's two types of things you can do and I'm a mo you can either Shave off the rough edges on a class and then

You know give them a new toy like they did to most of them or they go This isn't really working people aren't happy and total rework, right? totally reworked dark knight and uh machinist machinist is a new class now like most of their moves got gutted and changed something people are happy At pretty much everybody i'm talking to except for a couple scholars and a few astros, but they're bugged right now They're happy people just generally seem happy And it's great stories good all the zones are cool. The encounters are a lot harder than i'm used to They're the the average encounters like dungeons and whatnot

They're much more complex than they were back in the day And what I really hope is that this slows down the bads to the end of the game like I am as in the bad players. Yes. Okay the bads So in stormblood the the final boss of that main campaign before you could get into the post game stuff Was fairly difficult not too crazy, but it was tougher a little tougher than average ensue Fucking months of just screaming and whining and just this isn't fair. I want to play and I can't beat it

I can't get through this shit and it's like good What about those dark knight changes? Well, I was talking about those earlier. Yeah, but just give me a second Okay, it's like if you if you can't clear shinryu Stay stay back To get out of endgame. Can everyone choose to kick somebody if they choose if they if someone's not doing that They have a party. Yeah, so if someone is not healing. Yeah, you do a vote dismiss. Okay But then you have no healer. Yeah, then you got to wait for it to replenish in the roll thing. Okay

And the the final boss stuff of uh shadowbringers is apparently super nuts So it's like good We'll have a good week or two of of Get out I know it sounds elitist, but when you have new players coming in that are that are buying a skip All the way to the end of the game. I mean you have people coming back after two years gone. It's like there's a lot of people that are not

Knowing what they need to be doing and it's very frustrating And usually you can get a positive experience out of like hey, man. Here's a tip. Here's how to help with that but then every now and then uh concerted advice gets met with Essentially, you know pay my sub and it's very frustrating. I bought my ticket to the end of the game. Fuck you basically um, and that is that is a behavior that gets crazy upgraded in severity

Right around the like month the game comes out essentially because people are then gonna beat it and they're gonna leave um The other thing I way into top eight Don't buy jump motions. Don't do it. It's bad for you. You're wasting your money um And the other thing I want to talk about is I want to give like a little golf clap to yoshi p and

the team and the server infrastructure team down in california Because I mean woolly you used to work in qa. Mm-hmm. You occasionally ran Uh, fucking network shit Network shit is fucky. Yes. Yes, stress tests are fucky. So and word mmo launches online game launches They're you they're near invariably fucked up, right? And when they had storm blood it was super fucked up

They had that rabon's wall where just days and days of nobody could get through like the third quest and the fucking expansion Because they funneled everyone into a single player instance for some stupid reason and they were getting d dosed And they killed it live. Yeah Shadow bringers comes out. I started streaming it the day it came out at around 3 30 p.m. On that friday Server crash everybody's server crash look up online. Sure enough another d doth And it's like well fucking thanks assholes by the way um

Damn it. Okay And not only are they d dosing the game. They're not even d dosing the servers themselves They're d dosing the network hubs around the server's location Like is there even A way to get like is there anyone kind of doing the thing back in the day where it'd be like Ah, you got shut down by fucking Mushroom hacks it the way they have their little ascii art the way that it came out. Is it even that anymore of times? Is that it is assumed and I think

Some people say this is confirmed But I think it's just assumed and there's some a little bit of evidence that it is straight up world of warcraft players Who are like fuck you in your game I mean because I just I I haven't heard that word in a while Yeah, um most a lot of sites and a lot of places have put up the protection against it And I feel as if when I did used to hear about it a lot There would be it would be accompanied by Like you've been d dosed by now that does not happen dream romps

Now I don't have confirmation on that and some people have said hey don't say that because you'll inflame the flames against the cumulative Whatever it's like. It's probably just jack ass is doing it for the lulls, right? Right, however at about 4 30 p.m. That day The server came back up Stably and has been stable since Because despite The d-dost being not even targeted at square enix themselves They totally fucking felt and knew they were going to get d-dost

And did a bunch of planning accordingly and it was smooth sailing the entire weekend No problems Like it was playing during peak hours like that is Commendable and awesome. Yoshi P. I think a million years ago back when it was launching 2.0 He's the kind of guy who's he's in charge, but he's also like it is outrageous That the game comes out and you can't play it at the day that it came out, you know It sucks. Yeah, and it's really and

Back in storm blood that left a sour taste a lot of people's mouth for a long time that the weekend Or the the couple days they took off work to hit the expansion Fuck you couldn't right? I mean anytime there's a playable demo that Consists of a network test and then the network goes down slash is not up in the time window They said it would be and then it ends like the rage is palpable, right? And like, you know, I I have a bunch of pals that are like, yep took friday off work I'm sick on monday, you know that kind of thing and for that to just all disappear It's it's a fucking bummer. So yeah, it's absolutely stellar that

It's been up and solid there's only one minor issue with it and that is I think you remember me talking about where the game is becoming much more populated lately like it's blowing up As a result right now if you were to buy a character right now I'm sorry buy it buy the game right now All the servers are fucking full

All of them are full You can't make a character right now Because they're fucking full You can't make a character or you can't join a server. You cannot make a character because all the servers are fucking full Can you hammer it? No, it's disabled So what do you do you go back in time and start playing two weeks ago when the servers weren't under the most load They'll ever be under game is full games full can't play. Yeah, no new. That's right. Fuck you couple weeks

When average server or populate because basically money wasted No, not money wasted, but wait a week because right now Like how many people are on a server at any given time usually two thousand three thousand Right now it's like fucking fifteen thousand It's the max the thing can hold And this is international All the north americans are completely full

Mo I think most of the european ones are full and the japanese ones are fine Can you be a shit and like connect to a super far? Oh, totally. Okay, and then you can pay uh the fucking 38 dollars to transfer the server you want to migrate. Yeah If it allows you Uh, so there are some people they're like i'm gonna get on shadow bringers day And it's like you really should have listened all the people saying you wanted to either get in one month ago or one month from now Because yes, it's full It's a traffic jam

If they here's the thing rules if they let everybody make a character right now and they didn't have login queues No one get to play because those servers would fucking crash I remember the last time I played was maybe it was like the matrix online or something Or I feel like you made your character offline And then connected that's weird to send them. That's kind of goofy. Yeah I think I think you made your character offline and they sat offline and then you picked a server to here Yeah, you can make you can make the look of your character like not offline but not connected to any particular server But then when you go to like choose one it goes nah

Yeah, okay. That's that's what I mean. Essentially. Yeah, you go through all the the character creator also right now Like, you know, the the game has a free version up to level 35 uh, so Like, you know plague for example, he's playing the game on and off and he's playing the free version um If you're not paying a sub you get kicked to the back of the line during the login queues So when I've gone to law you can play it for free up to a certain level. That's right Interesting. Yeah, and level 35 is

Pretty significant. Yeah, that's I guess That's interesting. Okay, because I'm like it's like anyone who goes that far in free You're the type that probably will well I use plague as an example and he's a weirdo because he's leveling characters to 35 over and over Because he he's willing to waste days and days of grinding characters to one third of the level cap But not pay 12 dollars. I don't get it. I don't get it. It makes no fucking sense to me, but um Um Yeah, as a result of that

I have encountered I shit you not no login queues ever You you you know, you go to log in and it goes. Hey, there's a queue. Yeah, the queues eight people Now if you're a free player, I bet that queue is like Way more than that but you know I paid to skip the line players are connecting to the same servers They are but they're getting kicked to the back of the line and priority to log in

Because ideally they would want all the people who actually fucking Pay for the game. So you got you got your sky priority miles go kicking in for your first class Yeah, but also the people that are are playing for free. They're ancient back in the old areas They're not in the new stuff where everything is popping But yeah, uh, it's excellent. Excellent. Excellent. Excellent. Amazing Uh, and I feel this is I point it. I'm gonna point this out pretty much every time an expansion comes out Uh, I think the guy's name is masahiro soken s o k k e n

He is the composer for final fantasy 14 uh He has now composed more music I think he's like he's more he's done more music for final fantasy than mitsuda did And I think he's approaching or if not past the amount of music that umato did umatu This is the best he has ever done He did a very very good job doing the music on this. It is all a plus

Every single area you go to every single boss fight every single everything is unbelievable. It's a cool name Soken masahiro soken. Yeah, that's awesome. Apparently what he does Is he composes like a crazy person all day and forgets to eat and then goes to like a local restaurant and just drowns himself in chicken And before the expansion came out yoshi p said That he had been eating tons of chicken lately Which is a very fucking weird roundabout japanese way to tell us that the music will be really good To healthy meat to eat. Yeah Uh, I'll probably ask you to put one of the tracks at the end of this week's podcast because it good

Unless you had something special planned. I was in a persona mood, but sure. Yeah, it's it's it's the week If you send it on then I'll do it. I'll send it, but if you forget then I won't oh, oh, no uh Yeah, expansion is great When stormblood came out there was some trepidation and people were like a little uh, and it ended up being good, but it It's weird because it's it's you know, hey, you know what it's like a fighting game. Mm-hmm Vanilla was really good, but it was vanilla And then super was amazing

right And then arcade edition was fine Musted Yeah, and then 80 2012 80 2012 was fucking fucking amazing. And that's what we're dealing with here I may have been wrong on the street fighter end, but yeah the analogy works ultra is where they fixed it. Yeah, ultra This would be ultra. Okay Everybody happy. I'm happy. I'm very happy I'm really happy they fixed my fucking dark knight and also

As an extra thumbs up to people playing my class When you get the job armor the sword that comes with it is literally called fucking shadow bringer Hey, so it's the name of the name of the thing the name of the thing the name of the thing That's a good. I like it. That's a big good. I'm very excited. That's it for me I'll check in for the name of the thing Not next week because I won't have played almost any of it next week because we're going rtx But two weeks from now. I'll check in a little bit with some more, but that's it. Where would that be? Oh, well, I'll be checking in here

On the podcast. That's what I meant But if you want to see me stream more of it tomorrow and wednesday at around 3 p.m. Till I die That'll be at twitch.tv slash angriest pat And once I finally get through the main story stuff for that this will go to a once a week thing and I'll go back to hat in time and I don't know fuck around Mario maker and samurai showdown. Mm-hmm. It'll be fun Right on uh, yeah And uh, of course this weekend we will be once again Uh, not once again for the first time, but once again for those who are not aware going to rtx in austin

That is rooster teeth expo We will be there friday saturday and some of sunday some of sunday uh our Castle super beast panel and signing are on friday. Uh, I want to say the Signing is uh earlier in the day. Let me get you the exact time. Let me tell people what's going on Um, because I did save that schedule here But we're gonna be there on the friday and then saturday will be around just checking it out doing things I'll be definitely over at the um the mortal combat area Doing some uh

Some hyping and some matches i'll be playing i'll be playing like whatever playing people in mk 11 And what not hanging out, but uh, so friday at 4 p.m Is our panel and that's in ballroom a signing one No, yeah signing signing. Excuse me. Our signing is at 4 p.m. On friday uh And then the actual Panel itself is

What's the plan for that panel? We're gonna just we're just gonna do a baby podcast do a baby podcast hang out with you guys

Yeah, pretty much probably taking like questions for like yeah, just shoot the shit and take questions Yeah, that's that you know show our ball. It's not enough time to do a full episode Yeah, but we'll do a we'll just staple that on to like a shorter episode the following monday or whatever because i'm gonna be Fucking tired coming back on monday. Yeah, i'm not gonna be there. Okay, so you mean tuesday, so it's tuesday tuesday next week pocket And uh, and then yeah following that is from 4 p.m. To 5 30 p.m Uh in ballroom a signing one on friday july 5th at rtx austin. We'll be doing the signing So yeah, come check us out

Um, and then then the mortal combat finals. I'll be over there too That's that's what we do. That's what happens. That's what's going to happen. Yeah. Oh and and um I tweeted this out, but for any of the many of you who have said like Mist opportunity to call your thing gone to your head. Yeah, and it's like no because that's a pun That's for the people that know what that is And no man, you gotta get the humors better the more insulated and less knowable it gets one The the I like this title better. I think it's just a better title to the time frame Restricts the content to a degree and gives you a better understanding of what you're getting. Yeah, and three

Uh Ideally more people will see this hopefully than have seen that thing and it doesn't have to be attached necessarily But the spirit of the camera up in your face being uncomfortable is retained. So that's what's up Uh, it's just it is a better way to go in my opinion Um, I mean we had on the table gone with the wind Like we had all kinds of stupid shit up there until I eventually all that's good Settled on what I liked. That's good. I like that But anyway, uh

Let's let's do some news not that there was much. Yeah, that's not that much this week. It was fucking dead a couple things happened Um, so yeah, I guess, uh, first things first Took long enough, but finally we are going to be getting One punch A hero nobody knows for ps4 x bone and pc One punch man video game this game's depiction of late of character strengths will not be canon No, and in fact like Just the entire idea like so bad. It's like it's so

Nonsensical but like they haven't shown the mechanics yet. Yeah, and you know, they're gonna be Absurd and stupid because it's gonna have to just be Press one button to win Right, but they but they haven't shown it yet. It's gonna have to be one point. It'll be a lot of dodging It'll be a lot of talking and then eventually It'll be one but Naruto whatever No way it's gonna be i'm telling you like we're saying so we're seeing the the cut scenes here of You know Gino doing his thing one punch man just standing there. No selling

It's gonna be an anime arena fighter Saitama's gonna punch people 10 times and they're gonna be fine when everybody's fighting each other. It's real fights But when Saitama is doing it, it's it's it's gonna be the one. No, it's not you expect too much I'm no i'm expecting the bare minimum, which is that's not the actual The thesis statement of the show woolly. It's gonna be Do you remember my hero academia arena fighter? Yes, it's literally going to be exactly that Exactly Remember when all punch, sorry

All punch. That's a good one. Actually. I like that. Remember when all might punched froppy and once and she should have blasted into a billion goo pieces No, because it's arena anime fighter The the the wow, I bet she has a lot of waifus actually the temptation to Make a game and just turn it into whatever While high

I feel like this show is so much around this gimmick That you couldn't be that stupid. This is to make it just like the tv equivalent of a japanese movie tie-in game I I'm hoping for the best we'll see we'll see I'm hoping for the bare minimum because I literally want this to be a fucking budget wrapped around One thing and that one thing is button express x2 punch and that is it And I want and I have no problem with there being things that mean you can't punch right away, right? I have no problem with there being mechanics that lead up to that

But there should definitely be a single button that does the thing and then that's how you fucking solve the problem Not x. Why would it be x? It would obviously be square pressing x would not be punched. That's silly x is never a punch button It's always square x is always a jump button or a confirm button He's right anyone who says press x to punch is silly that's square to punch You know x can be a kick but circles usually kick circles usually kick x can be a kick Punch would never be on x triangle is a sword triangle is a sword triangle is a sword or an item Yeah, right, but square is punch. Yeah, fuck you if you think otherwise. You're just wrong. You're just wrong We know this this has been proven. Yeah, unless you want to go shoulder pads with it, you know

Uh shoulder buttons then that's fine too. We can have that discussion But you're not putting a fucking punch button on x It might in fact just be for dialogue prompts and opening doors. Yeah Triangle can be interact. That's possible too. You can fuck around with that. You can be menu Yep, yep It can be evasive maneuver. It can be a roll. It can be some sort of non action Oh, I have a minor update. I know it's a way out topic

But last week I talked about how the switch version of ff of ff7 It's probably the best one the switch in the x-bone version even though it has a few bugs They actually fix those bugs So yeah the switch in x-bone versions of ff7 are the ones to play if you're going back to that game Meanwhile people who are asking about chrono trigger do not play the one on steam. Yeah, it's it's fine Now they fixed things about it, but it's still yeah the weird fucking mobile version based port I don't I don't know what they're doing there. Don't do it They fixed a fucking bug in ff9

On the ps4 like last week by the way the bug that is still exists in ff7 So I don't know what the fuck is going on with that They they are treating those games weird Um, so yeah speaking of ports uh In july Tell me about july what exact which is now July is literally right now

um The 25th so end of this month Uh fantasy strike is finally coming out of early access and is being released proper on All the systems all the systems even the 3ds ps4 switch in pc. There you go No x-bone in there. Oh poor x-bone, but mac and linux Ah Not bad if really. Yeah, fucking linux linux if you're a penguin user you're in there

Hey linux users You guys are okay, but you're weird now you can play fantasy strike um Yeah, and it's so it's got all the the characters that weren't in the early access initially. It's the full 10 um and Uh, yeah, it's got the it's got the the rollback. It's got the online God linux is not lit. You x you pieces of shit That's awful

and Fantasy strike is one of them like simple decision-making based fighting games. We've played a coa once or twice Enjoyed it really good stuff serlin games all that all that fun. Yomi Uh, so give it a peep and I will be looking a little bit more into it. Perhaps with someone Uh Who was involved with you had you're gonna tell me if you have south kill it over here No, but the guy the fucking made this thing. Okay, it's basically gonna come hang out. Okay He's a he's a local montreal anime player and he fucking made the thing

That's good. So he's gonna come on on getting to fighting. Can you ask him why you're calling? He's calling a fantasy strike instead of yomi. I mean, he's not the guy that named it. Okay. He's not david serlin Okay, he's serlin not killing. Damn it. Yeah, he's not david serlin No, serlin is not a montreal, but a local anime player by the name of thilo is uh Hey, he's a fucking godlike super turbo honda. He like crushed it at evo many many years ago and uh, You know somebody you know what? a stripped down decision

fighting game all about reads and like simplicity of input. Fuck. Yeah. He's a fucking st Of course as is serlin. Yeah, of course. That's why that fucking course. Yeah They got together and said like we're making we're making the entire game is deciding to walk out of the quarter They know keep it pure um, yeah, that's july 25th We had a story last week in which we touched on Them polka decks changes. Yeah, we've had an update to that story. Oh, are you guys excited for the update? Well, let's see here

the boss of The pokemon company Well game freak whatever Uh has a message for all of you pokemon gamers mr. Junichi Masuda of game freak producer of pokemon sword and shield Says thank you to all our fans for caring so deeply about pokemon Recently I shared the new well to run the story back Uh, they are not putting all the pokemon. Yeah in the new game and if you bring them forward into the new

Pokemon home, which is the new bank There's a bunch that just don't exist in sword and shield so it becomes pokemon jail so you can bring them in but you can't pull them out and um People started the national decks campaign, which is basically no come on. I want one pokemon delay the game I don't give a shit. It is no longer about catching them all or or or a live update or fucking something Yeah, and Yeah, so that's what it was. Yeah, anyway, so thank you to all our fans for treating so deeply about pokemon Recently I shared the news that some pokemon cannot be transferred to pokemon sword and pokemon shield

I've read your comments and I appreciate your love and passion for pokemon Just like all of you we are passionate about pokemon and each and every one of them is important to us So after many years of developing pokemon video games, it was very difficult decision Uh, I'd like to make one thing clear even if a specific pokemon is not available in sword and shield It doesn't mean it won't appear in future games Yeah, but the world the pokemon continues to evolve galler offers new encounters brought a da da da Junichi Masuda So another word day in his former statement

There will likely never be another pokemon game ever that includes all of them So even if the pokemon that isn't here comes back later A different one may be not there. Oh, so a rotating bench. Yeah So we can bring in the second string And then they can be in that one Yeah, I really think It's it's a lot of work, right? It's a crazy amount of work and it might not be in the time frame

possibly even the budget But then you consider two things One the time frame can be what you want it to be if you adjust it and two It's a pokemon. It's like you said the white budget for people not watching this with their face When woolly said it budget. I had five emotions hit my mouth at once just now now now now In a game development context even the companies with infinite money still a lot of budget to a project It has a given You know and there might even be an outside flex of how hard that or how heavy that can go

If you account for Huge problems massive failures resubmissions. Yeah, so like There's been a We see this a lot in the game biz where it's like there's a single Unfortunate phrase that gets uttered that takes over the whole conversation forever Like I it was a long time and I'd still look at the fucking idos tomb raider as a girl that I'm supposed to protect

right Just what unfortunate phrasing I genuinely believe the national deck situation would be way calmer right now If matsuda didn't come out and say that we can't put all the pokemon in because we're spending so much time on the animations Because this has led to people breaking down Just how terrible and basic the animation has been as soon as they switched to 3d models So a world without that type of press would have just had speculation as to why they weren't in Yeah, and that would have been it for

But like Clems made a video about mr. Clems on on youtube. He's a he's a he's a soggy boy He's a he's a he's a our fellow. He's our our favorite rat person soggy boy I don't know where that came from, but I like it. I think our academy. All right, uh but um oh but um He put out a fucking video before sword and shield even got shown like I want to say like a year or more ago Or he just doesn't feel the same about the 3d pokemon as he does about the sprites

And that later got extrapolated. You know, it was became a more common sentiment of like all the old pokemon had really distinct poses and some of them had distinct animations and then the 3d pokemon basically are just a posing they're in their default pose And then they'll do a little jump and then like a sprite appears on the enemy to symbolize an attack, right? For most purposes these things don't actually animate at all No one had any reason to take a look at this and think about it until you know, the real super fans did and some people would Yeah, but at the end of the day, you're like it's pokemon whatever It's on the table and you just expect it to be

Basic because there's a lot of things that have to have the same moves Right and then there are more pokemon than there are moves therefore and then you look back at You know now he says that and everyone's like looking at footage from e3 of like And yeah, it's an incomplete game But it's like the fucking seagulls like a posing like without flapping their wings through environments And the one that really gets me is people were going back to the pokemon coliseum and stadium games And looking at the incredible amount of animation work They put into every single fucking pokemon including including unique faint animations for every single one of them

So what this really did was it touched on something uh There I guess this is why the term watershed exists in a way where it's like uh, oh you hit it and then now the dam broke and now it's all fucking coming loose because As someone that uh is not a hardcore pokemon player Yeah, same here. I feel like there has just been a common sort of like More or less acceptance that pokemon doesn't really Evolve

Or it does very slowly right as a as a game. It really doesn't go places that are super Uh different from where it's gone before it takes despite the fact that it's about evolution in new regions It takes five years to catch up to five years ago Yes, you're and and we're all pretty much like on the same page where it's like, yep We're getting remixed region. We're getting regions are just remixes of your of your um, your map tiles Yeah, and pokemon are they're all new designs or whatever But for the most part you're kind of getting a slow, but more or less the same thing, but that's okay Because it ends adding to a big roster and there's more pieces to play with yes

and now The idea that like The mobile up until now I would have you heard me talking about like why can't we get a big 3d world, right? And other people kind of feel that way as well, but the accepting accepted thing is it's just they're delivering the same product They've always delivered. It's going to be pokemon. That's fine. Mega man is mega man is mega man you'll be able to turn the camera And so now in your mega man game you'll fight three robot masters instead of eight when you've taken some away and people go

Why is that? And then it's like well because We're doing all these Cool new things and then you're like no you'll new things. You're not you've never we've you never do the cool new things And we don't also expect you to do the cool new things to be fairly blunt The cool new thing that they're doing for pokemon sword and shield is something that would feel at home in 2006 Like the open world and the the way that game looks Like look how like yeah, no, but that's been that's a decade old now

Yeah, there's a really hilarious series of images that people sent me of ocarina of timelink Photoshopped into sword and shield screenshots And he looks fine. Hmm. Yeah I like I feel as if um What you're talking about these fucking gang buster nuts whatever these massive franchises these main nintendo entities, right? like fans Cannot make breath of the wild. No fuck. No That's super impossible

Fans can very easily make sword and shield and have already done it there is gameplay wise going to be Significantly better versions of sword and shield that will exist immediately The nintendo will likely go after super hard and the shut down projects To date have consisted of games that do make pokemon more complex that fans have done Where it's like the that effort is

Like making game freaks effort with not even 3d with just simple sprite work like look like what are you actually Game freaks looks like a company that got to dodge the japanese problems with hd development because they make Goddamn pokemon and pokemon is allowed to be as simple and as basic as it always has been With slight updates to make things now they're 3d and as a bonus gen 1ers gen 2ers gen 3ers, etc Are all adults now. Yeah now If this were The equivalent of monster hunter. Yeah to monster hunter worlds

Fucking yeah, take them out the exact. Well, it's exactly the same We lost although how many monsters did you lose we law? Okay, uh, fucking g u Fucking whatever had like 90 to 110 or some shit. Well, how many did world have 30 on release 35? 30 there around there and then I sworn it's going to be around 54 and they started dropping more in as time went on But you but holy shit and everyone all this shit and everyone that popped that in was like ultimately like I missed Yeah, it'll be where it'll take it'll take a game or two. I missed the guy missed them But hey look at what this game is. But also, do you know what capcom came out and said?

We're working really hard to get as many classic monsters in as fast as possible And we're going to work hard over the long haul to get as like as many as we can in But the question of at what cost Resulted in a giant world that you could actually and increase mechanical depth and Ease and it looks gorgeous and all like like it was very visible and understandable what the trade-off was For getting all those monsters you wanted everyone went. Yeah I'll take that trade and wait wait two years to get some more This is not even remotely close. Where's the trade?

This is not even remotely close to anything like what monster hunt we're losing. What 700 pokemon so that we can turn the camera That is that I feel like that's actually it We're getting high res x and y but you can turn the camera I didn't want to just say it's just x and y because i'm like maybe there's something They I haven't paid attention to or it's like x and y and said that the reason the game ran bad Was because the models were higher quality to future proof them for later games when it went to hd fucking consoles So they they said it's high res x and y like my brain when I saw the footage of sword and shield I'm like, oh, yeah, it's x and y but I'm like, I don't want to say that

Just in case everyone's like hey idiot. It looks way better. You're wrong and I'm like, yeah I guess I haven't seen no one is saying that it's it really is just is so you're you're you're using the framework that you already had and Like oh people are telling me you can't even turn the camera and some So it's a sequel based off of the thing you already had and then you're you're building the new And and it's a problem because like models in world the number one thing about pokemon

is pokemon It like it's It's literally the name of the thing. Yeah, so I I wish I saved it, but I didn't but someone had a really funny, um Uh, uh, the fucking IQ meme the the mind galaxy brain galaxy brain meme of like, uh All the things that get that got removed. Yeah from pokemon So it's like remove this remove that remove that and it literally is like it goes further than I've ever seen them go Yeah, it's like about maybe like 15 or 16 steps long And the final one is just a fucking like like illuminati triangle covering all of it

Send me that on twitter. I want to see this. It's fucking hilarious It tells it lists all the things that get removed And then the last one in giant red text with the illuminati triangle observing over all of existence is remove pokemon from pokemon, you know, I have a I have a A friend of mine who's a diehard pokemon fan. He's got a living dex So this affects him most of all And there's a bunch of shit that woolly we you and me Don't even know about

That are problems. Do you remember mega evolutions? Yes. Do you remember z moves? I remember what I remember them being introduced in a trailer where you do the gestures. Okay, guess what? Fuck those mechanics. Yeah, they replaced it with the other thing now Yeah, and like this has apparently been an ongoing thing of here's the cool new mechanic that we'll add to like 15 pokemon And charizard and mutu will get one Yes And that's it. We're gonna dump it next time. Yeah. Yeah because and it was like the idea was like

Too too expensive to to do a new number and model for every single pokemon to give it a z evolution version Right, it was just too much and there is one thing to say. I know everybody's talking about crunch now Right, nintendo has pulled back on that and we had a new story about how they're they've I in no way advocate for crunching the game freaks Okay but And I have seen that it's like listen if you were to delay the game to add the pokemon whatever You would you would uh screw up a bunch of other people's jobs like the people running the anime and the merch and all that right To that I say synchronicity the fact that this thing is such a giant multimedia avalanche of money

Should not be used as a reason To not improve it It should be the reason that it gets money thrown at it to improve it I don't care that there's an anime movie card merch school back-to-school tie-in For pokemon that shouldn't matter if it means that none of that money Improves the game and none of that none of that should matter or take precedent to the fact that It's about fucking it's about pokemon literally it's about about pokemon about fucking poke and the thing I've been talking to ilag and haven't you no, but like the fact that it's and like

Blah what am I trying to say here the poke did you open your twitter on the camera? Oh, I guess I did don't do that. Well, we follow people that you cannot open that twitter on that camera Okay, well i'm looking for that post I couldn't I found it you got it got it Remove difficulty options remove contests remove seasons remove super they remove super training So they remove super train. Okay remove dex nav remove pss. Don't know what that is remove mega evolutions Remove following pokemon. Yeah, that's in go and it's not here remove battle. They remove battle frontier Remove national dex and then remove pokemon I even know they got rid of super training that was really useful

I yeah, I don't It's pss. Where'd you get the where'd you get the picture? I just uh fucking I think mr. Sup sent it to me. Okay. Okay. I'll retweet it Yeah, yeah, I'll retweet it here you go It's you check that out of angriest bad on twitter. It is it is What is what is pss? I'm looking at i'm trying to find out what it is. Yeah difficulty options Remove difficulty options remove contests player search system remove seasons remove super training remove dex nav

Remove pss remove mega evolutions remove following pokemon remove battle frontier remove national dex remove pokemon It's uh, yeah, yeah, yeah Fantastic player search system with some kind of online thing Yeah, that's this is the weirdest part is that Usually you I've never seen it go this far when you get an iterative sequel The biggest thing about having iterative on pseudo unchanging sequels is that the feature list just grows Why doesn't it ever grow it's going backwards now You know people say oh next gen dumb down games and we lose features and sports games had it really bad

This is like A decade of just add it then take it away add it then take it away Yeah, so what I was trying to say was effectively that like Again the watershed right the thing that more or less everyone was fine with was the basic agreement That you would just keep giving the same thing With a little bit more added on to what was there last time one more sprinkles and nothing taken away. Yeah, and We want to someday walk into a monster hunter world equivalent game Yeah, and you're probably gonna not give that to us within the next 10 years

It would be great if you did But it feels like you don't want to because the bare minimum is letting you coast Yeah, and we'll accept that just Do just take what existed and add a little bit more and then in this case you're getting less than what was there before And now everyone goes what the fuck I think An important thing is that people will look at this and go the devs are lazy And I don't think that's the case at all. I think the company

Is complacent. Yeah, I know. I mean this it was definitely something like that was Planned in the scope that they decided against and people working on our they must have damned us and I and I want to say that they They definitely didn't look and go like it's impossible, but they just kind of said Well, we don't they probably didn't think it mattered as much as it did to people, right? uh, and if you consider that they've Had games before where You kind of like when they did the jump, right? They ditched the the the, uh, um, blue and silver and and shit like that So the kind of thought process was well new generation new jump new gap. It'll be fine

Yeah, uh, um People will just get used to it and then the future will fix the problem, but The proposition is just not equivalent in terms of what's new to make it worth it This is why I look at pokemon go and pokemon masters and I just kind of start scratching my head Because those are alternate versions of pokemon That just remove even more to not scare the kids And it's like and and I say this we say this as people that are not actively following Yeah, pokemon. I feel really bad for anybody with a national deck with the living decks and who cares about pokemon

You know on the outside observing what they're doing going like why are you doing it this way? So hey woolly street fighter six comes out Six characters to start roster. Oh, you mean new generation. Yeah Oh, what was wrong with new generation? It was a massive disaster Well, yes, but the first version of new generation had no ken and ryu. Yeah So you're looking at the new the combat kids Plus oro and dudley Sick

Yeah, personally, excuse me. I don't mind the idea of like I like it's it's blasphemous to not have a ken and ryu And I know like not having scorpion and mk3 was the biggest mistake ever. Yeah. Oh, yeah I don't mind Unpopular opinion, right, but I'm okay with the passing of the torch. Yeah, but you got to pass the torch All right, so take Pikachu out of the next pokemon game. Yeah, right. What? Well, what? Yeah Yeah, I'm being shot Where this Hulk and my body come from Charizard gone Pikachu gone dude soul caliber five. Yeah, right. Yeah, totally

And I like I get it. I get it And there are people that are way in a pokemon who like yes We know gen ones import blah blah blah, but are like fuck There's going to be like 70 gen one pokemon flooding the list that the max list every time Pikachu will never not be in a pokemon game. Last place better be there, right like i'm not playing it So like that that you know my favorite I have a favorite why isn't my favorite it is Yeah, half of the half of the original 151 there's like a fucking argument

That's in some meeting room out in japan where the merch guys are like, what do you mean? Not every pokemon are going to be in the game I bet you What do you mean? I can't make a doll out of a thousand Pokemans like I bet you there's they've got full metrics on exactly how popular every single one is That would be that feels like it would be the second most important job Of the pokemon company the whole thing the number one most important job is to make a pokemon product Yeah, the second most important job is to figure out which one

To make Pikachu just keep making Pikachu Ooh, I just got a shiver of excitement. You know what people are going to be really mad about When the anime goes to sword and shield and ash has a pokemon that you can't use in the game Think think about that think about that Would they ash is like butterfree go get it and you're like motherfucker. I can't butterfree that shit Would they dare? I can't there's a very possibility depends on what the communication is like There's no way they would not there's no fucking way. I'm now waiting with Ben

And I know everyone in the anime is going to be fucking like Unlocked to figure out exactly if anything gets shown in the show. Yeah, that doesn't exist in the game But there's no way they're going to fuck it up that bad That would be hilarious. That'd be wild It's like I can't even do what the fuck it. Yeah, okay. Okay. Well, anyway, that's that update this week Um pokemon fans continue to be upset because you have every right. Do you want to stay on the upset train? Yeah, fuck it All right, if we're here, let's pull into the next stop Train's pulling out of the pokemon station. Where are we where we where we're stopping

Keep your your hands and feet inside the doors at all times or else look at real disappointed because we're stopping at stadia So We've been waiting for the proverbial shoe. Phil Harrison is a shoe to drop Is he not? Phil Harrison just every time he shows up. It's like, oh phil So Uh google stadia What is stadia was our question a long time ago?

And woolly you answered it. It's a website It is in fact a website. Yes Um Now there's two answers to that question. Yeah, what is stadia? Apparently it's also possibly a fucking ripoff and or failure It's it's gonna bomb the the person I retweeted was this shit will bomb worse than the ouya Alex What is dead in the water? It's dead right now

So there's two parts to this And I don't know which part is funnier. Uh, I'm gonna go with the one that simply blows up everyone's expectations here because The entire premise I've been Like nervous about and talking about for the last little while has been the netflix of video games being too good of a proposition For most people to turn down because it's just too affordable

and Even and the idea of lag doesn't matter when it's super affordable I get a giant library and I can play it on my phone think about it this way Epic store is the worst store ever, but it's cheaper. So even I buy games on it, right? How can you how can you beat an affordable price? Yeah, right? Low quality But low price below price. It's a it's a winning combination I don't know why they would be cheaper phil harrison. Mr. Sadie a man One asked so how much of the game is gonna cost how much cheaper are they going to be then?

Regular ass 60 dollar well first things first stadia itself The website will be uh They're planning to have a ten dollar pro service which is ten dollars a month or a free Limited uh to 1080p. I believe. Yeah, sure. Um, uh, a service that'll roll out in Uh, 2020. I think they said sure along those lines But for the all sets of purposes the first batch will be but pay the ten dollars a month right

So you're now so you're doing the netflix the hulu. So you buy your hundred hundred fifty dollar box You get your controller you pay your ten dollars a month to be able to play the games And then you buy those games at fucking full price despite the fact that when so hold on when you say box What box there's a box you can buy There will be a box you can buy I feel like you're buying a controller and a certain a login There's a there's a fucking box. They showed a box. Okay. I I feel like you're buying a controller And a login as you install that app pretty much on your phone and or tv and or whatever the fuck

um So anyway, there's no box. No the box is a chromecast ultra. Uh, well then whatever that's just that's just another app device That google right you're buying you can put it on whatever the app is everywhere Right cool Now you'll then be able to browse through many games that people have put up that you can play As long as you're a subscriber. Yeah, I have to be a subscriber And you will be able to play all of those games, correct? At once you buy them at full price

Well, hold on a minute I bought the subscription service. Yes like a netflix that allows you to use the study everywhere So games will be like the netflix, right? Yes once you buy them at full price But what am I about but hold on why would they cost any less? Well, because I'm not buying them. Yes, but you're getting the convenience of being able to play them on multiple things Isn't that worth way more than being able to keep them once we turn the servers off in a year? So I know digital, right? It's our it was a scary digital

Was a little scary, but I feel confident in my parts at the very least the data is on the box That is on your computer so that when you plug it out and plug it in on a desert island It's in the box. Yeah, and you know what if if the company fucking dissolves Or whatever they'll beat away for you to get it somehow But the files exist inside of your Offline home. They are there. Yes This is a ghost game This is not real

You are purchasing the idea of a game on this surface This is go down to the go karts This is go down to the go kart track And pay your 20 dollars to spend the day playing with go kart, you know riding the go karts around the track And then you go to get in and they're like you got to buy that go kart And you're like what yeah, you gotta pay me 400 dollars to ride this go kart because you gotta own the go kart You know cool. Do I get to take it home? He's like no He's like, oh he's like it has to stay here

You can come back anytime you want But you have to pay the 20 dollars to get in to ride the go kart that you bought And then the place shuts down because that business model sucks Yeah, so when your phantom game goes on sale Like So that's number one. I think that's the bigger one. I think that's the extra hilarious one But there's one that's almost as hilarious hidden deep in either that interview or another one when asked. Hey Infrastructure in the united states and canada, but let's just say the us for now

For internet it's pretty fucking godawful Right, there were uh, I was streaming a star trek shit with the e-line page the other night Nationwide outages are we're causing piccardo to go crazy, right? Standard structure is not good, right? How do you think this is going to become, uh, you know viable For the average consumer In kind of bad internet land Do you did you see what the answer to this question is? No Well isps are going to see that about the importance of

Streaming gaming and they're going to upgrade their networks to accommodate it. Oh sick The pressure yeah of of stadia it will it's going to get con cast to upgrade its lines move mountains Oh, yeah, literally in some cases That is awesome I didn't catch that you know how I mock Microsoft's red men area because they're all culty and they're all about the tribe I'm getting a real fucking tribe mentality off the google people now. Here's the thing though, right? This seems real. Well, here's here's culty important to note specifically about the streaming service aspect of things

Uh In all the confusion as to what the fuck is stadia. Yeah that we all had upon the reveal of that thing um There was eventually just an assumption that it was going to be a subscription service to access because why would it be anything else? There was no confirmation or announcement that it would be anything else, right? and uh When asked to elaborate on the point, uh, harrison said Uh, not every developer and publisher is ready to move to a subscription model yet

And frankly not every gamer is ready to move to subscription yet So we wanted to give them a choice that they could engage in their games the way they wanted Um In all cases without the high upfront cost of buying a sophisticated device So the entire purpose of stadia stadia, whatever you want to spend 300 is to not is to avoid the console That's that's the that's the only thing that's the only which is a net loss trade over one year trade console box for lag forever But all but also and screens and and screens and but also the the game after the thing shuts down

trade that to Well, yes, but again the idea Of the console at the time Yeah, which is comfort but then there's the time and Hey, how many games have you purchased in your life me? Yes a lot. Okay. How many of them have you beaten? Uh a lot One fifth

Which leaves four fifths. Yeah, it's a lot. It's a lot cool How would it feel to buy something that you never beat slash do you do you have you booted every game you've bought? Uh, yeah, okay. Uh, no, there's there's like a dozen or so that I have. Okay. Here's my point I buy games that I haven't booted yet. Yeah, and I have a bunch of you'll get them later So they're sitting uninstalled on my steam list that I'll get to whenever Well, guess what? Well, like steam just ended 10 minutes ago Where'd my money go? It went into your ass Thanks, Phil. I had a pre-order at the fucking game buzz across from the best buy for deadly premonition on the ps3

And I went to pick it up and the store no longer existed Yeah, that's the start. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah now and here's the important part right is in a lot of cases Like there's there's when things like this come up. It's on let's say a hardware developer to be like no, no No, no, no, we'll continue to support this shit as long as possible We will literally keep our servers up and whatnot if you want to get your your um your minecraft story mode It's going to be fucking weird But you're going to get to get it so that we have to relist it for a hundred dollars But hey anyone who owns it can download it. Yeah, we'll figure it out. Um

The reason why we aren't getting the service here is because these are all Uh, because basically for the developers they want things to need to stay as similar to the way they are as possible Yeah, so they're not ready for this rollout model yet Even though ps plus and xbox gold games of gold is a thing Place to sony and microsoft have clout Anyway, regardless Uh A lot of the time

What stays up is not going to depend on google It will depend on the developer And their desire to keep the game up period Or perhaps it could and sometimes they've not even it's not even about the dev going out of business. Sometimes it's just Uh, yeah, no deadpool anymore. We don't want to sell that game. Yeah There it goes But when you talk about Sony microsoft steam epic origin you play google

One of these things just doesn't belong and that is The list of cancelled google projects. Oh is so that's infinite. Yeah, I want to say there's a website that was like killed by google or something like that There are like 30 things many of which didn't even go for a year Before getting cancelled Hardware devices that just stop getting updates within the year of their release that'll be fair It seems like google is a company that's willing to greenlit some crazy shit to begin with Apparently you get bonus you get a bonus If you start a project that gets off the ground

But you don't get docked if it fails So it seems like they greenlit all kinds of wild crazy ideas because they're that kind of because maybe it'll be the next big thing right, uh, so that Premises understood it's not quite the ea purchase and kill sure, but uh, yeah putting these ghost these phantom game purchases in the hands of Like, you know publishers and devs that might literally just yank them and not they might not exist anymore for you Is an insane proposition. I think I think the best way you can sum up the problem with stadia and the future

Is to ask phil Harrison when stadia will release for google glass sure and if he goes well Never because google glass doesn't does is discontinued and they go and you go oh And that's it Yeah, I would not be surprised if stadia did not last 365 days You know how worried people get about archiving things because yeah, uh, they go away forever. We'll look at this shit, right? Could you imagine that a game getting delisted means?

The fucking mob comes to your house and breaks your shit and cracks it open It takes all your disc and breaks the system and deletes all and like fucking flushes all of your date years your shit to the recycling bin Yeah, watch as it get erased and then they leave Like you never owned it to begin with it's not real that didn't happen and then they men in black your memories of the games Yeah, man, this is a joke that's this is a joke wildly goofy That is why like it was already super duper dubious In the form of the netflix version of things

Yeah, but hey, it's cheap And the money was gonna make everybody go in because kids come on at least give it a try I was gonna give it a 10 bucks a month rent as much as you want play what you want do your thing Sure, and you know what there might have even been tiers where it's like these games are in this tier Yeah, if you want to get those games, I don't know because Like the crunchy roll model, right? You know where it's like the idea that like the money is going there the money is going to the the the game makers because Google is effectively purchasing copies. Oh christ. You want to talk about fucking

the crunchy roll model you want to talk about how The the continued exodus from netflix Is turning fucking streaming into into the reason why everyone left tv to go to streaming Yep, and how everyone's gonna leave streaming and the average consumer goal. Why would I pot they pay 18 different subs instead of just going to this this lending link ease of use for the consumer is in fact, uh The source of why people go. Why can't we do this ourselves and get paid for it? So Yeah, pull the office off of Netflix nbc put it on your own service pull my hero academia off of crunchy roll

Funimation put it on your own service force people to go to other places that they don't really Want to or people can sign up for services. They don't feel excited to go to one place Or they can just do that. It's and it God Gave newles an asshole, but it was right that piracy is a fucking service problem People just want to watch your goddamn show That's it. They're willing to pay for it They totally are

Just let them go somewhere and fucking pay for it That's it Like Yeah, yep, you're turning you're turning streaming into net into old tv You're you're literally turning the fix into the problem again. Well, you know me. I like star trek I have I don't even know what star s I don't even know what std Which is the actual fucking acronym of that show. I don't even know what it looks like

Because it's trapped on that fucking viacom. That's the only fucking thing on that whole streaming service. You know that This terrible star trek show Hmm Yep, but star trek will get it people on ours. Yeah, give me a fucking break Hey, man We know firsthand come to our website. Watch this lp. What do you mean? You don't want to do that Oh, you really don't want to do that. All right Yeah

It it doesn't it doesn't work. It doesn't work. Just leave it alone on the thing that everyone uses and then But we hey hey woolly. Hey We're gonna be the next steam flicks No, you're not You're just not And the best part is is netflix doesn't even make that much money. It's the same thing with amazon You know, they they they have a loss, right? But money keeps going in because they're the completely dominant one in the field and you could make money later

Yeah, no anything. Uh, this is what we learned. Uh anything that is the size of facebook twitter Netflix's etc where it is the one platform for the one service that it's offering loses money Shut who cares it does not make money and it's simply worth it to keep A hold on this entire market. Yeah, because you're keeping other people from making money It's just like the the the denial space is worth it. Yeah. Yeah, so If you make if you make zero dollars But you're keeping your competitor from making a million that they could then invest to take money from you It's worth it

I mean even amazon is in amazon doesn't make a fucking dime It's it's crazy I mean any of these any of these like like they run the show Situations, but every but investors keep pouring money into it because it's going to be a fucking shipping monopoly So why the fuck wouldn't you put money into it? Yeah Uh, anyway, uh, I I just I literally Like I in one breath went from being worried about stadia as a replacement

to being like Like it I burped and it's gone. Here's the thing, right? It's a breath out of that last week. Like you're worries Like I was like, I'm not too worried about it. But like we I was engaging with the thoughts you were having I wasn't engaging with my like nay saying Imagining shit like this, right? But like your your fears were founded Those were legitimate concerns in the context. We were discussed the cost proposition was too strong. It's yeah, it's a legitimate thing We didn't need to have that conversation last week. It's stupid now in hindsight

People are gonna listen to that podcast in a couple years. I'm like, oh my god. I can't the stadia What is that even remember when google bought companies for the amazon fire to develop games? Yes That was not that long ago, that's where iron galaxy went Where are they at now not developing for the fire I'll be real. I don't know what the amazon fire is I don't think I ever knew What is it? I think it's just a the fucking it's an app box. Okay, like a roku. Yeah, I think it's an app box

Uh I think he meant double helix. Excuse me double helix iron galaxy where stepped in afterwards. That's correct. Double helix went there Yep Okay. Well, anyway, that's that. Uh, that's kind of upsetting but that's also kind of a relief Yes, no threat from this. Yes Absolutely Uh And then yeah, we got a little little bits little bits and pieces here and there finally, you know

If anyone is enjoying tetris 99 like I am Um mista points the gun at you and then the gun just falls apart in his hand. You're like, oh, okay seems legit So tetris 99 was great Now tetris royale is the same shit except it's the ios and android version cool So it's tetris. I hate the idea of touchscreen tetris. I hate it so much Sure, but a lot of people are gonna be able to play this. Yes, and they'll be happy. I get it I will be upset. I will still get it

And I understand. Hey the convenience It's Right the cost proposition. Yeah um Yeah, then just a little little fun bits here there was The uh darksiders genesis got announced uh about a month ago. Didn't cover that but that is the top down uh Lara Croft in the order of the not order of the

Lara Lara Croft Get you know top down shooting shooting guardian light guardian light. Thank you Uh darksiders genesis. Did you play temple of osiris? No, it's really not good compared to the guardian of light It's a real bummer The guardian of lights fucking the shit. I did a really early Uh a qa on it, but I didn't see it in its final state. Yeah, it's just it's not the same Well, anyway, um strife big gunman the the fourth of the brothers the fourth Shows up and and is here with his big guns and it's basically yeah, it's your top down shoot bangy and it's strife and war

Doing it together That's darksiders genesis. Yeah seems fine seems pretty cool. Looks like a darksiders. Just zoom the fuck out Probably not The way people thought they'd be getting to control the fourth character, but it is what it is And then alongside the talk about that was uh Joe Doing a little interview saying that yes, of course naturally this leads to when are we getting the game with all four in it

and he says the thing you that was like It's unfortunate because they started the the four horsemen of the apocalypse as the story Before darksiders one ever came out like when we get into play as all four Joe mad says it's still on the table. It's still on the table and they didn't want this to be the spin-off Way that it happened. It needs to be a proper. Yeah next game So, yeah looks like uh, it's it's what did he say specifically? The exact wording is that yeah the concept could still come But it'll it'll probably should probably be in this course the the core series not a spin-off like genesis

So, uh, yeah That idea which is basically I feel like what the whole Franchising of the first game if you remember it's the promise of the franchise Right the promise has already been broken Because at the end of the first game you see the three other ones As shooting stars coming towards you and wars like yeah, we're gonna fucking rock and it was to tell you Game number two. Yeah all and then number two came was like, you know, it's it's pretty cool Just that okay, but at the end of the day if you end up with game one war game two death game three

Fury and then game four strife plus all the rest That's not bad. Yeah That's fine Right you introduce strife here if it's good if it's good Darksiders have been of uh varying quality Yeah, ideally ideally, uh There would be a fourth and final game in which You played a strife and then a chapter for everyone else and then you just fucking do

I I just agree. I think there'd be a fourth game where you play a strife and a fifth game where you play is all four If they're gonna do it like that there are I guess but they're already doing this spin-off to bring strife in early I guess so, you know, well then they would be the fifth game Yeah, but this is gonna be called darksiders four because this is a spin-off. Yeah, that's weird You know, you know pestilence you fucks you fucks It's the coolest one. It's the coolest one fury, bro Famine I can understand ditching famines a little We had we talked about this. I know starvation mechanics every time doesn't work

Pestilence is the coolest one doesn't work papa nergal loves you exploding into bugs Doesn't work Just big mobile disease Yeah, uh, they they're teasing The news uh apex legends season, uh, they're teasing the new character Watson she does the electricity. Yeah, that's fine. Whatever. You know, even cares. Yeah, they That shit just faded in my heart so fast. I can't believe it. Yeah map get change stuff goes

Big confirmation for sure 100 lock down ultimate confirmation sir super real sure hardcore hardcore hard hard hard confirmation That titan fall was in fact killed Because apex had it was a success. Okay, but then apex was way less of a success than it looked like immediately afterwards Yes, however, the blip on the radar was so loud. It was the loudest That everyone was forced to stop what they were doing and pay attention to apex is a legitimate fad And it or flashed in the pan, but it was the loudest boom Ever it was the loudest loudest loudest blip on the radar. You could possibly and I want to put that onto two things It beat fort night. Yeah into the dirt for a while

Sane and I want to put that on two things one that season they put out with the the battle That's the worst battle pass ever ever. I looked at that and went holy shit. There is not one thing On that entire pass that I even want and most of them were like sprays and shit Right, just whatever and the second one is god Damn it that thing should have had a solo mode months ago It needs a solo queue I would settle for a better training mode sure fine

Well, that's where I could pick my character and actually practice with them, but yeah uh I What was I gonna say? I was gonna say too often you load into an apex game and you have a bad time Yeah, because your party members a fuck Yeah, uh You can break off from them entirely. Yeah, but then you're playing one on three So what do you mean when you say solo? I mean everyone is solo. Yeah, man. Okay. Okay. It needs a fucking free-for-all

setting okay, badly And it needs to be rebalanced for free-for-all because it would be a fucking what's her name lifeline be busted Yeah, I mean although it seems like like I don't like god to take the game that was tight and fall and turn it into this And then read read double all their focus on to this and this is kind of how it stretched out Like do they even have the people? You know to do that shit? I don't know Uh, I I was gonna say that I'm sure black gift is laughing at me now Just thinking about it But like one thing I got to see even before the season pass dropped is like new game hype

Is very very flash in the pan Yeah, and if you cannot keep people's attention By like staying on top of that fucking hey, hey, hey over here. No, no, no. Don't look over the hill. No stay over here Over here. Oh, hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. Hey. That's a pretty good summation of that process like people like two and a half weeks after the game dropped or like I'm kind of I'm getting kind of bored. I'm done Yeah, there's nothing new and I remember just be like Wait, what? Like it's like because I'm just fighting game braining it and I'm like, it's been a half month

Wally what the fuck is wrong with you? Let me take an example that is near and dear to my heart that is happening right now The biggest expansion 14 ever put out just came out There are people that hit cap with multiple characters already despite the game coming out on friday and that's crazy That's taken for somebody who grinds hard. That's nuts And they've already beaten the two like pseudo raid bosses that are there and gotten all the gear they wanted And they're like when's new shit and the answer is New shit is in two weeks Because that's when they delay the the what's called the normal raid

To make it so that average players don't feel rushed to beat the story So that they don't like so they actually enjoy the the leveling process, right? So they don't feel like they have to catch up and two weeks after that Is going to be this what's called the savage raid, which is the real hard stuff Which most people put their meat in people are going to beat that within a couple weeks and go when's new shit? Yeah, guess what in fucking october. That's when the new shit is The ADHD is crazy, but it's also collective and It will determine whether you live or die, right and it it's that like dude

There are people that go hard on this mmo or this battle royale or this whatever To the point where they actually do all of it All of it everything everything in the game warframe players Well, I was going to bring up or the same or the same thing and they go I have every gun in the game The the you put out a couple new guns for this event and a new frame The new guns are terrible and the new frame is average. This sucks It's like you can't be building a game for the people who have literally no life

Every single thing in the game. Yeah, I I I was going to bring up warframe as What I was under the impression was the solution in that like the the the scrapers Out there that just get every nook and fucking cranny. It can't be for you But nothing can be for you, but it sounds like warframe already by default has Volumes more than other things do warframe has a fucking shit done. I got to mr 25 20 I think I don't know was is it 25 out of 27 27 is the highest you can go and it's it's exponential. So I need to do like a lot to get to 26

And but there there are mr 27 players like the like fortuna. You remember that ice expansion drops Blow through it Two weeks do every single thing get every item farm it for like, you know 12 hours a day every single fucking day Yeah, like that's it now in the case you're not supposed to Yeah, like now in the case of a battle royale, that's not what scraping means It just means you've been playing it a whole lot and you've you've learned every single portion of everything Blah blah blah, you know and in terms like that. That's why a dota or a league Like the maps the map and they the but what do they do?

New hero new hero new hero new hero new hero new hero. Hey rework rework. Hey rework here. Are you looking? Are you looking? Hey, hey, don't I got reworked not over here? No Hey, hey, hey Hey, you want the ultimate You want the ultimate? Yeah the devs of war the warcraft Were asked why they moved the patch the content patch for battles of avasaroth To coincide with shadow bringers release date

And they went no, we don't we never do that. We we base them on the internal You know things when stuff's ready We don't we don't even pay attention to our competitors And then you go back and look at every goddamn mmo expansion or launch date In the past like five ten years and world of warcraft always has something coming out on that day every single one and it's like Of course

Look at us We're cool too. Of course you do that. Did you but to tell you? Like no, man. It's coincidence. Fuck. Well, all I will say is I laughed at it But in retrospect, it's actually why they're on top, but the fortnight hyper reactionary response To apex coming out fast fast fast fast fast ping system ping ping ping ping ball

Hammond getting the ball your hammond now hamp sword Woolly sword. I want to take two examples here. Sorry three examples one vanos Well, I want to ask you a question I want to see if you remember because it was really really funny when it happened and you laughed really hard Overwatches public beta came out alongside what video game release. Oh my god. I don't know battleborn. Yes, it did They fucking thumbed them in the eye like a bunch of asshole. It did. Yes, right In this case though apex knew that it needed to sneak into everyone's hearts It needed to sneak around and put itself on your computer without fortnight knowing

Hey install me, right? Also, and then everyone switched and then fortnight was like what the fuck world of warcraft Was the absolute king of a certain type of development And fortnight is number two and all the games i've ever seen right fortnight's number two because they don't do it quite on time World of warcraft would do the following It's the biggest mmo ever. It's so big and cool and good and awesome. Hey There's a new mmo that's coming out and it obviously doesn't have wows money, right? And they got some cool new stuff and that game will be out in a year

11 months later world of warcraft will include every novel feature That that rival game showed sure would before that game fucking comes out. Of course it does in addition To having world of warcraft, which is why apex had to be a secret, right and then fortnight Totally would have done the exact same fucking thing to apex if apex was not a secret Pinging and everything you like about apex before would Yeah And it would have been labeled the who what's apex or the apex fortnight the apex drop, right? Yeah, and it's a weird thing. It's a really weird thing and and here's the thing now. You're looking at also

Shear it's a cold war, right and it's a cold war where um In this case, it's not even america versus the ussr It's america versus fucking. I don't know what granada It is like You cannot afford to produce content at a rate that will keep up with fortnight And also like I want to take fortnight again as example the reason why fortnight's fortnight is because it did that To pub g yes exactly and and killed pub g as a result with that

It is a it is an algorithm that learns From whatever steps up to it you approach the mirror and it looks back at you and now it is you and you are now It retains its old strengths as well, but it is now you as well Thank you for contributing And it's the kind of thing that wow got to be like wow still on top and while still be on top for a long time Like if 14 is gaining some ground, but they're at like a million Even at its worst wow still like five or some shit, right? But it's like the the thing is is like when you have all the money

You can throw money at and create all sorts of features and and catch up to the and like it just gives you all this leeway Its identity is the uncanny ability to take all other identities So what you're saying is that fortnight's strength is the shoring game Or the borg the borg yeah, okay, whichever one you want to play it as yeah Right that's it's one strength. Yeah can't learn No, sorry can't invent anything new As after a certain point copy wheel the shit out of anything that it sees yeah Now I have your power now i've got it

It's all I've ever had You can't beat that so what kind of development is that? Like invasive develop I know it's a call like there's got to be a term we can think of it But like sharing and development. I don't know but it's a game guy. It's it's a really clear style Yep, get your opponent's strengths before your opponents exist the moment they tell the public about them steal it Just beat beat them to the punch and everyone who's already there has no reason to leave Why would they leave it's already here And it has all the other stuff too

So the only way you can do it is by focusing really hard on quality Or doing something that the other people Can't do for whatever reason. Oh, you don't want the powder anymore. You want that on a spoon? I would like that. You want you want to heat it up on a spoon. I would like it on the spoon, please No, we got we got the spoon. Oh, cool. Here we go We can be whatever you want us to be You still got money I do we're here It's crazy

Yeah, let's uh take some letters. Hey if you want to send a letter in You can send it into castle super beast mail at gmail.com That's castle super beast mail at gmail.com. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait Hey, but I have a I'll have an announcement at the end now I'm we're finishing the podcast way earlier tonight than I expected so I'm actually going to stream tonight as well Okay, I thought it was going to get home like seven or eight, but like nah, fuck it Uh short news week, but one of the things that's just that I wanted that that came up is um It is quite possible that uh metal wolf chaos xd is coming out on july 4th

We don't know for sure They're being They're being cagey about it, but that makes perfect fucking sense. Uh, we're going to find out soon But it might actually be On the fucking 4th of july either way devolvers talking about the level in that where you have to stop the ships taking away the white slavery No It's like mr. President. We have to stop the white slavery and they enunciate it weird And it's like Jesus christ got

So, uh the producer at fromsoft, uh, masonori takuchi did an interview in which he basically Got to be asked Or he got he got to answer why so much noise about metal wolf chaos now. Yeah, and uh He kind of basically explained What the deal is and he said one first of all I feel well He says he says I feel two minds about it when it comes to like the localizing of the game I'm genuinely happy to see that people have picked up on metal wolf chaos and are looking forward to it

Despite the fact that it's not released overseas But we finally feel like we let them down because they initially aimed to release it worldwide But they couldn't because of 9 11 back in the day. That's Okay, that that's why it it fucking happened curse you 9 11 So yet another casualty. Yes sons of liberty and metal wolf chaos Are the are the true fucking games the games that we lost. Yeah And uh In explaining how the audiences view the game he says it's america as perceived by the japanese

Yeah, completely fictional, but at the time it was our idea of the ideology of american culture and comic book heroes We pieced it together and it became the president piloting a mech We think that when japanese took look at it that way from an american point of view It's the same way that they see japanese ninja or the same sort of ideologies Yeah, absolutely in the same kind of fantasy, but it goes two ways. Yeah Great I want more. Yeah, it is it is our our american vision of japanese ninja Those fake ninjas looking back and seeing what it's their america

That's what metal wolf chaos is. Yeah, it's the mirror of the mirror. Yeah, give more. Yeah, yeah More now give originally we had the dynamic between michael wilson and richard hawk Uh The president and vice president we wanted this comic book hero of dynamic of good versus evil in our initial image for richard hawk We looked at the w w f heroes and antagonists there. Oh my god. This and you know what? What's more american Than good old fucking wrestling wrestling

Faces and heels. That's the best bad guys have their own sense of justice and personality They think they're right. They're bombastic and we wanted to base the character on this sort of idea Like it it it just everything's coming together. It makes so much sense Yeah, yeah, yeah richer. Yeah, of course like Yeah, so and of course it being an exclusive game from microsoft. It was very xbox centric Yeah, thus it being very american just made sense as well um

And yeah, and that's that's pretty much it and it wasn't that it wasn't the armored a good mecha game Yes, but it wasn't the armored core team. Hell. No, it was it was from soft, but it was not the ac guys, you know Uh, anyway, so yeah, it's a fun interview where they just explain what the fuck this is I still and we finally get a look into it because we no one knows how and why and we finally have some answers Almost every day go to do something and in the back of my mind a little voice goes. Let's party I Want to say even though it's not acknowledged here that Full pats on the back because we straight up

Our channel one of the devolver guys just literally full on and out loud We brought it back. Yeah, it was totally a straight up. Yeah Yeah, that's he was talking about there was a lot of ground swell and in fact there was this one lp by these guys of the best Yeah, it got a lot of people talking about even which big and like metal wolf chaos existed in our in our spheres because James small showed it to me back in the day. We have to give a special thumbs up Right and thank you to one james small which we have busted his piss many a time

But james small is at the core responsible of the revival of this fucking game and any any Shaw any light that went on to edf at any point that came off of us is also him same thing Fancy it is because of james. Thank you james. That's awesome. You did a good with the metal wolf I'm so happy to finally know the truth about like things like that. It's like it's fucking wrestling. Of course Yes, of course. It's wrestling in robots in america. Yeah as seen across the ocean from very far away By the fake ninjas by naruto that we have running through the trees in our hands naruto was like boy I sure do love american wrestling and robots

Uh, anyway, so that was castle super beast male at gmail.com. Yes So we got one coming in from gaitong and he says oh good Hi guys in response to your segment on last week's podcast regarding the director of the bond movie denying that he played red dead Too fucking uh, I'd like to point out that this trope has a name and I got so viciously specific denial That's exactly. Yeah, I want people help me out with that suspiciously specific denial is what we were trying to reach and it's like It's perfect. Yep. I can think of dozens of situations in which I have encountered it for real and it's like that was a It's a bad play. Yeah, it's a bad play every time

Helmet did you see anything sanders? No, sir. I did not see you playing with your dolls again Uh, space balls Yeah, um Anyway, thank you. Hey, what are you doing up there not doing drugs? Yeah, like this is anything Okay, uh, let's take this one from chris says the chris derwillian pat the other day Pat you said, um When you streamed bloodstained Although uh, blah the other week you streamed bloodstained. Yes, though on the podcast you said you were gonna save it for you

Yeah with streaming being your job. I was wondering what about this made you want to save it for you And what do you look at in terms of like choosing to save something for yourself versus what to stream? So how do you keep it separate only same question? Are there games that you say for yourself the primary thing with bloodstained was that my brain was turning off when I was playing it Is that I was playing bloodstained and for whatever reason there is a relaxing rhythm to that game That kept me from talking. I just didn't want to talk And that sucks ass for streaming when I was playing I've been you know 14 is a game that I you know, I would know life the expansion like crazy, but I've been streaming every single minute of it

that I've been doing progress Because it makes me excited and it makes me words come out of my face So I'm glad to share it with people. I might not do it next expansion Right, I might choose not to because it's hard to do this much streaming in a row But you know, but that's the number one thing is whether or not I think like It'd be and with judgment. It's like the timing and I have just finished yakuza 6 and it's like I don't think I would be able to Do the best job with that

kind of thing For me, it's if it's like if it's something my here's what it is My ability to learn memorize a map pick up on small details catch little things happening in the music note every little variation of a possible aspect with Uh, some a weapon that I like or a boss that has a thing to it I cannot do because that part of my brain is shut off when I'm and it's going blah blah blah blah Straight up blah blah parts including talking over reading dialogue sometimes or people saying things

It is just the simple nature of the fact that the part where you have to talk and say something interesting Means you're not picking up a hundred percent. And if it's a game I really care about getting that hundred percent or like Learning it and improving at it. Then I need to do it off stream. I have to do it for myself Yeah, um Like the fact that I'm getting through Sekiro is kind of almost a miracle because that Is the type of game where far is a lot of attention? Yes, and that is absolutely the kind of game where Like I can I can feel how much worse I'm doing at the attempts on bosses due to having to

Do the on button luckily with Sekiro when it's high action You don't need to add a lot of dialogue because it's very Active. Yes to just look at yes So it kind of gives splits and the thing is the fact that I'm getting a little bit bummed with certain parts of it Is making it actually ideal for something where I'm like, okay, cool I don't care that much about the fact that I'm not getting to a hundred percent focus on every aspect of this Right. So there's parts of the map that I don't fully remember Yeah, and I'm kind of okay with that versus like cadence of high rule. I really like this game

I really like Crypt of the Neckard answer. I really want to scrape and learn and play every do everything You know, um, so like it would be easy to say like the games that I really really care about and For me me me me are the ones that don't show up on stream, but that's not true I did dm. I did re2 the game that I cared the most about in the world. Yeah all boom boom boom But dmc 5 I got early and played through it myself. You know, yeah, and it's it's it's What I think I'm gonna do well at uh for you. Yeah, I'm gonna it's all for you I'm gonna I'm gonna fucking like Do one I'm gonna peel back the curtain here as we do, you know from time to time

Do we have a curtain? No, but even if but this is whatever. All right. This is a sausage making factory curtain Curtain out your sweaty balls. Uh, when I when we complete an LP Right when we completed LPs back on the channel when I complete them now when I or even on stream Uh, I feel like I'm experiencing 90 percent of the game. Mm-hmm not in terms of how much it has But I'm experiencing 90 of what I would have experienced if I were playing it because you just had didn't have the eyeballs Open all the way the whole time

And if the game has lots of conversation and stuff going on And it's not like a souls game where it's all gameplay. Yeah that goes down to possibly 85 to 80. Yep Um, so you walk out with a really healthy gist Yeah of the experience Which isn't a really good feeling if you wanted that extra 20 percent right and chat and I think chat adds something to it Which is a communal aspect with some games. It's it's better and some games

It's worse playing through re2 the first time with chat was a blast because it's a bunch of people sitting in In a watching a scary movie kind of kind of feel yeah playing an mmo for 10 hours in a day With chat is fine because I'd be talking to people anyway playing that game There's also the part of it where um, sometimes things happen in games that it takes me like Walking away from it to fully digest what happened If it's a particular plot heavy thing or to fully just kind of think about like oh What this meant what this represented what this was going for or whatever

And that might not happen the moment I see it in the stream at the you know what I mean like on the cutscene Like that big revelation that you see that everyone's like Did he get it? Did he understand what happened what happened there? It's like I might not have that opportunity because I'm just going and we're here and we're live But if I was playing by myself that would happen after I thought about it for a little bit you'd be lying in bed and you'd be like Oh Damn, you know um I mean I could imagine what it would be like like with this current season of attack on titan

Like if I somehow was watching that live with people like Most a lot of my oh shits are But the have the mass majority of my oh shits come after the credits roll Yeah, the ones that are clear and obvious happen while the episode's going And then I have like five going that means that Did you look down you'd be like oh Yes And not only that but like they'd be waiting for you to catch it the moment it occurred as opposed to when you piece it together

So all this to say that uh, this is what determines what I want to say for myself sometimes But baba Is baba you? Well It was so bad, you know I play I did it. No, but you didn't see I I went in myself, but you didn't see page to it. I heard it's That the the fact that it goes back into minute speak is really really but baba doesn't like that Well, that's not where I was soul. That's not where I went mine went into just full on okay

uh baba is you yeah, and Crab is door But door is key Key is button and you just go into full minute speak coin keep the the number coin keep The number one thing that kept happening over and over is I can't move you off of baba because then baba ceases to be Yes, just Over and over. Yes, but you but baba is you but you is not baba. Yes

Other things can be you But baba must be something That game is really difficult if you have memory problems It's programming. I love you, honey. It's programming um good times That game is hardest. Fuck it gets stupid

Like because like I'll be honest Yeah, I'm gonna pull back the curtain myself and give page a little bit of a pat on the back Because everyone's like ha ha page is so dumb. She can't figure it out and I'm sitting there going Yeah, man. You're so silly. You can't figure it out. Ha ha. No, I don't know what the last one I solved on stream Was or like the second to last one was a Fucking doozy and I'm so glad I brute forced it out eventually brute smarts it I brute smarts it because I was staring at it for like maybe 20 percent of that whole stream Maybe 25 just not moving things just looking at it going

Yeah, uh, I deconstruct my thought process and my thought process is already limited because I'm on stream So I had to break it down to the core elements and go stop Stop everything I am failing because my assumptions about something that exists are incorrect Yeah, so the thing that it is time to go back to the origin Of the first thing I ever learned about this game and reconfirm everything from the ground up Because my my assumptions have failed me a really good example of that is the one that page keeps forgetting is that In her mind often it's baba can't not be you

And if that one piece doesn't break Right that baba can be anything and you can be anything. Yes Half the puzzle is becoming uncompliable. Right, right, right and but with all sorts of things What does float when or sink mean? Yeah. Yeah, what is What does open mean? What does it actually do it And I often got a solution after going back through that thought process and confirming everything Which is funny because that's almost basically the um

The the practice of compiling in a way check your work manually. You're going through it and going. Oh, yeah Fuck what logic error? Oh, I I didn't care the one here. I assumed. Yeah Um that game's amazing But fuck. Yeah, whoever made that is really smart Uh Public service announcement PSA for everybody who's uh keeping up to date on udon One of their latest projects that people might be interested in is called akuma versus hell That sounds cool and it is literally akuma

Fighting hell cool, which he uses as his own weapon. So why wouldn't that be a thing? Yeah, totally. So that gotta subjugate health. So you use it as a weapon just a heads up for everybody. That's cool. Good job kuma um And let's take this one here from Matt from seattle. Hey seattle dear egg flavored soda lords My roommate and I are having an argument I was hoping you could shed some light on the situation considering wolves has a testing background and pat has

Knows how to smush cardboard boxes good Is the symbol on raw wario's hat a w? Or an upside down m. It's an upside down m my take on the matter Both wario and luigi are japanese puns for the word waori, which means bad And their respective counterpart names because they've been designed by their native speakers The assumption is that they weren't thinking about the lettering the english uses and they weren't stead thinking of the kanji Or otherwise. I understand the romaji in common place. We hear me out Wario and while luigi both share a w for a first letter on but they have differing hat symbols

While luigi has an upside down l which is not a real letter This implies his nature is bad luigi. Yeah, they're upside. That's the inversion of the symbol on his hat In my opinion, that means the symbol on wario's hat is meant to be an upside down m Rather than a w as many have suspected This implies that his nature is bad mario as of the inversion on his hat. Yeah, that's exactly my roommate says No, it's just a w bro. Your your roommate's a fucking dumbass You're super right. You're super right Wario was they up they fucking made the the goddamn m upside down to invert mario

And then saw started with a w and then made the pun And then they took waluigi by up like inverting the fucking l and then realizing they couldn't make a goddamn pun with the l So they made a pun with w again And like it's clearly an inverted m. You're super right now. Here's the thing if the font Were such that the m on mario's hat had its descenders perfectly vertical Yeah, but wario's ascenders were opening. Yeah, then we would be looking at be a w And it clearly because it's literally just an inversion, but it's not because mario's descenders Are open that are opening out therefore it is in fact you throw it in a paint you rotated 180 degrees

It is not a w on his hat. It is in fact an inverted m. You can tell your roommate that we Absolutely agree with you and that he is wrong And luigi and waluigi are just hard confirmations of these facts as well as being losers And they're fine, but that waluigi shouldn't smash We couldn't have known fucking dumb until luigi happened until waluigi happened Yeah, we could have assumed but we couldn't have known for sure right while luigi confirms The lack of an it's an up and down app. Yep. This is correct All right, um, oh, yeah, sure. Let's take this one. This one's fun. All right, uh

Nate from buffalo. What up, Nate a little long-winded, but I'm gonna get to the gist of it Dear aya brea breathing enthusiasts I was catching up on old podcasts Woily commented on ghost in the shell and blade runner and it reminded me of when I started getting into horror games One of the first games I ever played and was suffering through was amnesia uh Was half-life one mod cry of fear and at the time I remember I was thinking I was pretty it was pretty much the coolest game ever made It had an emphasis on atmosphere supported by monsters based on real dark world themes

Impossible architecture. It was very unique a year later. I played silent hill 2 when I was shopping online I ignored it completely um and after watching a lukewarm impressions video the hd collection It reminded me of cry of fear the greatest horror game ever or so I thought Um, I like that. I like where this is going. Uh So I bought the entire series without a second thought Uh, I when I got around to playing them I started to notice that there are so many similarities pretty much everything that seemed new and unique in cry of fear Was taken almost directly from silent hill in some way or the other

Including things like uh, unrealistic unreliable and the zhek narrators secret trauma flying bed frame enemies zombie versions of yourself Uh weapons against you so on and so on and it goes on and on and on and on. It's a very long email Uh, I have a lot of respect for the mod But I could tell you a lot of inspiration I came from the creator and was love and a genuine effort to include things that didn't make it into silent hill Like the bubblehead enemies that actually pop. I wouldn't have enjoyed it nearly as much if I knew about silent hill series beforehand Have you ever turned into

Uh been turned in have you ever been turned on to a better game movie or series From its ripoff or derivative Have you ever had the ripoff? I don't think so be the thing that turns you on to the original thing I try and Be aware of uh depends how you feel about silent hill one, but uh, I only found about About jacob's ladder because of its reference in the interviews about sh1. I think sh1 is fantastic Um, the reason why I started smiling big is that there was one

Comment that I saw a few days ago They just oh it tickled me so much made me so so happy angry like Which is I don't understand why everyone's Avishing so much praise on evan galleon. It's just a bunch of stupid tropes And I'm just like It made those tropes That's what they're from Yeah, um

I got so my introduction of uh, my interpretation of eva as The other last week I when I when I mentioned that my interpretation to interpretation of eva was that of a deconstruction of like Oh, people don't like that apparently a lot of people had a lot of things to say about that I bet they did and then I just remembered what it was like being in the club space Yep when people had their eva opinions. Yes, and then I remember those guys I could not run away from all of those tweets and post fast enough I remember that guy you remember the guy the guy I remember all of them

But I remember the one in particular the castlevania man. I remember the one in particular. Yes, and I just utterly My I got like I have an image of you in my mind I got ripped back to that moment to those places to those discussions and went I am not Fucking doing this again. Everyone has their eva opinions and Sure, we can go and we can fucking do the anno bible Of his quotes to read what his intentions were and we're not but I'm not getting there. I'm not doing this It's not a fun place to be we've been doing it for if you think I'm wrong then I'm wrong. It's fine. Have your thoughts. That's great, but

We can't 20 fucking years. I'm not doing it for 23 20 fucking years like I agree with you that it's a deconstruction I think it's a pretty way and even if even if that wasn't intentional it acts as one if you think that was unintended depth Then so be it. That's all right. That's fine. I'm okay with that. It's still there But the the idea of like going back to aliens and being like, uh These it's so cliched. It's like it's cliche because aliens did it Yeah, aliens run the but going back to terminator two like this is just like a video game

Yeah, because they ripped it off for decades. Yeah, you dumb idiots Uh, I you know, there's a there's a naivete that what are you gonna do? Terminator two has a fucking final boss In the factory level uh I mean I played Gears of War before re4 So if there's any similarity there, yeah, that's down. You know kind of uh, I can't think of tons of examples um I played

I played tactics advance before tactics Never beat tactics. It's a good game. Yeah, I know Uh, there's a couple out there, but that's not quite the same as like the ripoff. Yeah doing the thing like I didn't play Mortal Kombat before Street Fighter No, all right. No Um the ripoff the ripoff Are there anybody that got into old transformers by watching transmorphers? Hey, I know I haven't played earthbound

That's true. I've played the derivatives That's true except earthbound's not better than Undertale. In fact Earthbound is not very good at all Really? I don't care for it. I've heard very different opinions. I'm sure you have And I sure I'm about to Yeah Yeah

Well, anyway uh, I have That there's one thing that's consistent and today proved no exception. What's that? Uh, every time avatar comes up There is a dedicated. It's really good. I know But that's not what I'm told in the set. I mean there is a dedicated like Concentration of a push to be like do-do It's like You know the saying what should I drop?

What should I delete? Right now to make space Quora out of your mind That's not in my mind either. Oh, you didn't watch quora. No. Oh, okay. Well, then that then you're good Tell me what to delete should I delete legend of the galactic heroes because I won't do that because that's the best thing I've ever watched so I'm not going to But anyway Yeah, no, I know it's the usual answer asleep. That's

Already happening. Yeah, I know Whoa, that's a podcast. All right. We did it We'll see you guys in texas at rtx and next week as well and We will be unveiling something new At rtx that you can use to cover your nipples. That is not what I was going to say
